Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to try new things, pursue existing passions and make the most of every opportunity available to them. Our Activities and Enrichment Programme gives girls the freedom to explore what interests them, build confidence and discover talents they may not yet know they have.
Whether joining a society, taking on a new challenge, volunteering, competing, travelling or simply trying something for the first time, there is something for every student to get involved in.
Something for everyone
Life at Queen Anne’s is full of opportunities to get involved.
Students can choose from a wide range of clubs, societies and activities spanning academic interests, creativity, performance, sport, wellbeing, technology, languages and much more.
Some girls use the programme to develop an existing passion. Others find themselves discovering something entirely new.
That variety is important. We want students to feel able to experiment, step outside their comfort zone and shape a school experience that feels uniquely their own.
In Partnership with Students
We work with the students to develop a programme that is interesting to them. The girls are invited to give feedback and present new ideas.
"If my daughter wanted to do inter-house under-water basket-weaving, I know that Queen Anne’s could make it happen!”
Developing Over the Years
In the lower years, the focus is on enjoyment. We aim for the girls to have a broad and balanced experience and learn how to make the most of co-curricular time and opportunities. In middle school, we support the girls to further develop their interests by offering new activities. There is greater focus on gaining qualifications and preparation for adult life. From Upper 5 (Year 11) to Upper Sixth (Year 13), students learn how to maintain a positive balance between activities, academic performance, qualifications and giving back to the school community.
We want QAS girls to have the best opportunities and to be enthusiastic and pro-active about how they spend their co-curricular time.
Also through programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, students develop resilience, independence, teamwork and practical skills while challenging themselves beyond their usual routines.
Competitions, expeditions, trips and other enrichment opportunities give girls further chances to test themselves, solve problems and build confidence through experience.
