Impact Statement

INSIGHT PROGRAMME

A weekly programme for gifted and talented primary school pupils which takes place on Saturday mornings. The courses are full and, as a result of the request from schools for more engagement, staff are visiting local schools with sessions.

THEATRE

Every year we invite more than 1500 local primary school children to see theatre, both drama and dance. This is an opportunity for the students to engage in theatre and a gives teachers the ability to take children into public spaces to challenge them in their Individual Education Plans (IEP).

SPORT

We make our sports facilities available to local children, often free of charge, in order to give students the opportunity, they would not otherwise have, to participate in team games.

Scholarships

Queen’s College Scholarships recognise exceptional aptitude and talent in a chosen area. The purpose of these awards is to attract students who:

Strive for excellence in their thinking and creativity
Are thoughtful, confident, reliable young people keen to be the future leaders of society
Have a strong moral and spiritual fibre
We encourage and support our scholars to do the very best they can at all times and to become individuals who will match or exceed our expectations. Our aspiration is that they will contribute to the Queen’s community and be an inspiration to those around them.

We welcome applicants with a proven excellence and clear potential in the area of your specialism. We are keen to encourage you to apply if you are a top musician who also loves playing sport; an academic that is also appreciative of the arts or an excellent sportsman or woman who could lead a debate. Queen’s students contribute to the richness of the community and our scholars are there to be trail blazers to lead the way and set the standards.

Assisted Places/Bursaries

In line with the College’s aims and inclusive nature, a number of means-tested assisted places are available for pupils who meet the College’s entry criteria but still require financial support to attend Queen’s.

We believe in providing children with the support and opportunities they need to fulfil their potential.  These assisted places can be stand alone or combined with scholarships.

We also offer sibling discounts.

All applications are considered by a bursary committee.

Please contact the Admissions team for more information about the bursary process – email [email protected].
