Welcome to Queen Mary's High School

Queen Mary’s High School’s sixth form stands as a beacon of academic excellence, personal growth, and community spirit. The school’s ethos is rooted in care for the individual, a close-knit community, and a steadfast commitment to social mobility and justice. This is not just a statement of intent, but a lived reality, as evidenced by the school’s “Outstanding” rating for its sixth form provision in the most recent SEF and OFSTED reports. At the heart of the sixth form experience is a culture of high expectations and support. From the moment students enter school, they are met with an environment where the highest standards of work and behavior are expected, and where every individual is supported to reach those standards. Relationships between staff and students are warm and respectful, fostering a sense of belonging and happiness that translates into exceptional academic achievement. Beyond the classroom, sixth formers are encouraged to take on leadership roles and participate in a wide range of clubs and activities. All of students seize these opportunities, developing skills and confidence that will serve them well beyond their school years. The school’s commitment to personal development is as strong as its academic focus, ensuring that students leave as well-rounded, resilient individuals ready to face the challenges of higher education and the wider world. Admissions to the sixth form are open to both current and prospective students. The process is clear and supportive, with guidance available at every step. Entry requirements are set out in the school’s prospectus.
