Celebrating so much more than grades, staff at The Queen’s School in Chester were proud to see 100% of their A-level students secure their place on a wide range of exciting courses at prestigious institutions.

Maintaining the school’s position as the top-performing girls’ school across the Wirral and Cheshire, the A-level and GCSE results are a true reflection of the hard work and resilience of students and commitment of the staff who go above and beyond to ensure every girl excels.

Full of pride and gratitude, Headmistress Joanne Keville said: “Results Day signifies more than just grades at Queen’s, it represents the dedication, diligence, and determination our students have invested throughout their academic journey. I am incredibly proud of them all - seeing their hard work come to fruition is so rewarding to us as teachers and these results are a testament to the excellent education and supportive environment provided at Queen’s, where the value added as a result of our small class sizes and personalised approach to learning really makes a difference.

“Our all-girls environment is just one aspect that makes Queen’s unique and a place where every student feels empowered to excel without limitations. This nurturing setting allows our girls to thrive academically and develop confidence in their abilities, free from gender stereotypes. With specialist teachers in every subject, we ensure that each girl receives expert guidance tailored to her unique strengths and aspirations and I want to thank all our amazing staff for their continued commitment to the girls’ achievements.”

At A-level, 100% of grades were A*-A in Computing, Further Maths, Economics, Physics, Latin, Geography, DT and Classical Civilisation and 100% of grades were A*-B in Art, Drama, English Literature and Maths.

Nearly 80% of students opted to take at least one STEM subject at A-level, with 79% of those grades achieved at A*-B, proving once again the value of all-girls education in removing barriers and empowering students to not be afraid to pursue traditionally perceived male-dominated subjects.

Achievements include two girls securing their places at the University of Oxford and Cambridge, three girls off to study Medicine, and a whole range of exciting courses including Art, Biology, Business, Child Nursing, Classics, Computer Science, Communications, Dentistry, Digital Media, English Literature and History, Finance and Economics, Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice, Geography, History and Philosophy, Pharmacology, Modern Languages and Cultures, Music, Politics and Economics, and Neuroscience with Psychology.

Over half of all the grades for Queen’s A-level students were A*-A and 53% of students achieved at least 2 A*-A grades.

The GCSE results were equally impressive with 76% of the girls securing at least one of the highest 9/8 grades and over half of all the girls (52%) taking home seven or more 9-7 grades.

Almost 30% of girls were overjoyed to achieve ALL their grades at 9-7.

There was once again outstanding success across a variety of departments with 13 subjects (Art, Biology, Chemistry, DT, English Language, Geography, History, Latin, Mandarin, PE, Physics, RE, Spanish) achieving 80% or higher grades at 9-6.

Queen’s is a place where girls become confident, resilient, and well-rounded young women, ready to tackle whatever the future holds.
