Queen Anne's School

Queen Anne’s is an inspirational day and boarding school for girls aged 11-18 set in 35 acres in the heart of Berkshire, with easy access to London. Founded in 1894, the school is steeped in history and tradition and is known for its pioneering education that prepares girls for the challenges of the modern world. The school is part of the United Westminster Grey Coat Foundation that was founded in 1699 in Westminster as the Grey Coat Hospital.

From the Sixth Form centre that could be mistaken for Google offices, to the careful support of the wellbeing programme, this girls’ day and boarding school is breaking down barriers and revolutionising the way that teenagers are taught, deploying the latest educational neuroscience research. Every girl is inspired to explore and enjoy her individuality, free from gender-stereotypes, in a safe environment that champions excellence and deep creativity.

A four-time recipient of the prestigious Microsoft Showcase Schools Award for its extensive digital teaching and learning, Queen Anne’s is also known for its exceptional ‘value added’ with students achieving on average 1.5 grades better than expected at GCSE.
