The Queen’s Diploma

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.

The convenience is unbeatable, whether you need extra study support or want to participate in late-night activities. Experienced, caring staff are always on hand, offering guidance and creating a safe space to grow. Plus, with dedicated study sessions and quiet areas, you’ll have the perfect environment to excel academically, preparing you for the independence of university life with confidence.
