Education Institutes

We currently have strong relationships with a number of different educational institutes, below is a catalogue of how we work with different institutes and a link to their website.

Queen Anne's School is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18, with a state-of-the-art, award-winning Sixth Form centre.

We are working with Queen Anne's to improve our curriculum. In the past they have supported us in delivering music and Mandarin lessons. 

We also have in place a tutoring scheme where Queen Anne's 6th form students kindly offer their free time to tutor our Year 10 students who have aspirations to go to the top universities, our girls cannot speak highly enough of the Queen Anne's students.

Some of our students, such as previous co-head girl Izzy Stephenson, have been awarded scholarships to their award-winning 6th Form.

The University of Reading offer many outreach programmes. We are lucky to be strong partners in many of these already and hope to increase our participation going forward.

The Students in Schools project is a prominent part of Year 11 preparation in the lead up to their final exams, the university provide undergraduates studying a range disciplines to tutor our Year 11 girls on a small group basis, consisting of no more than 3 students. Last year, this was highly commended by the Year 11s and they found the exposure to university students a further motivation for exams. 

Some feedback from our students in previous years is below:

‘It was very interactive and helpful, I was provided with in depth support and advice. The UoR student I worked with was very friendly and nice.’

‘I had the opportunity to complete tasks independently and in pairs. It was a good opportunity to try different tasks which I wouldn’t normally do.’

‘The person I worked with provided me with step-by-step guides on my areas of weaknesses.’ Madiha Year 11

The University Scholars Programme aims to target specific students who may not have considered attending university. It is a longitudinal exposure to many aspects of university and the benefits of going to university, and includes working with the University's student ambassadors and developing study skills. Every year a group of our Year 10 students engage in this project. The students say that it has given them an objective view on attending university and that they have learnt many things from the project.

Finally, the University outreach team run activities for Personal Development and STEM days, they provide speakers for subjects as part of our Deeper Applied Learning strategy, and arrange visits to the university for various year groups.
