Queen Anne’s School

Queen Anne’s is an inspirational day and boarding school for girls aged 11–18 situated in the heart of Berkshire, with easy access to Caversham, Reading and London. It stands as a beacon of academic excellence and outstanding pastoral care that blends a forward-thinking curriculum with a deep appreciation for the arts and a dynamic co-curricular programme. Girls can board at Queen Anne’s on a full, weekly or flexi basis in homely boarding houses, including a dedicated Sixth Form boarding house designed to support independence and community. Recent accolades include ranking among the top five independent schools nationally for GCSE value-added progress and placing in the top 1.5% of UK schools for sport, alongside the prestigious Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Award, the HIEDA Clinical Excellence Award and the Best of the Best Senior category for Pastoral Care in The Week Independent Schools Guide. These honours showcase Queen Anne’s culture of excellence and ongoing pioneering work in pastoral care for girls, which from September 2026 will be supported by a new wellbeing hub.

Queen Anne’s students regularly progress to leading global universities, including Oxbridge, G5, Ivy League and Russell Group institutions, as well as degree apprenticeships. In the Sixth Form, a large, dedicated careers facility provides spaces for networking events, expert guidance for competitive applications and supports a growing alumnae engagement platform.
