Courses
We offer a diverse range of options in addition to A Levels, such as Level 3 Diplomas and BTECs which are all equivalent to one A Level. We also encourage students to broaden their skills and knowledge beyond the traditional curriculum, preparing them for the challenges of University and the workplace by offering a range of activities including the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the Queen’s Diploma.
The skills acquired through sport, the visual arts, music, performing arts, outdoor pursuits and a myriad of other activities become increasingly valuable in the 21st Century. The Co-Curricular programme aims to complement the academic curriculum and provide ‘something for everyone’, with 100+ unique options. It gives opportunities for Queen’s College students to experience a variety of engaging activities. The programme aims to develop different skills and experiences and encourage students to challenge themselves and pursue their passions.
The Queen’s Diploma is a sixth form initiative developed to prepare our young adults for and strengthen their opportunities in early adulthood and later life. It is an exciting initiative that inspires our students to extend themselves beyond the usual. The Diploma becomes a key ingredient in application writing: highlighting transferable skills and desirable character traits, and providing examples for competency-based questions on which they will later rely. Through this Diploma, our students will build new skills, gain a range of attributes and develop a habit of lifelong learning and commitment to citizenship. Students work to achieve at least 150 credits towards the Queen’s Diploma over 13-15 months with a graduation at the end. Students can pick which credits they would like to gain across the four strands. Read more

🚴♂️From John O’Groats to Land’s End… and now to the @bbcsomerset Radio studio!
Mo, now in Year 10, was recently invited into the @bbc studio to record his story after being named a finalist in the Young Hero category at the BBC Somerset Make a Difference Awards 🙌
Last summer, Mo cycled more than 1,000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End alongside his dad, our Head of Science Faculty, raising money for @smiletrain.
It’s a cause particularly close to their family, as Mo’s younger sister was born with a cleft. They wanted to help give more children access to the life-changing surgery and care and went on to raise an incredible £4,600!🎉
📻 You can hear Mo telling the story himself on BBC Radio Somerset tomorrow from 8am, 11am and 1pm, or catch up afterwards on BBC Sounds.
Well done, Mo, and good luck at the awards ceremony later this month!💛

It’s been a little too quiet around Queen’s over the summer, and we can’t wait to see you all walking through the gates again on Thursday.
And when you walk through the gates, there’s a good chance you’ll get a welcome just like this one! Mr Noad makes a point of welcoming pupils personally, knowing who they are and taking the time to say hello to each of them👋
We hope you’ve had a brilliant summer. Enjoy the last few days, and we’ll see you on Thursday! 🙌
