Queen Anne’s School is celebrating outstanding academic success after being ranked 7th nationally out of 344 independent schools for GCSE pupil progress, placing the school firmly within the top 2% across the UK.
The ranking is based on Yellis value-added data, a nationally recognised assessment system provided by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at the University of Cambridge. The data measures how much progress students make from the start of secondary school through to GCSE, offering a powerful reflection of the school’s impact on student achievement. As an all-girls school, Queen Anne’s is committed to creating an environment where every girl is encouraged to aim high, be confident, and achieve her full potential.
This exceptional result highlights the remarkable progress made by Queen Anne’s students and stands as a strong endorsement of the school’s approach to teaching, learning, and pastoral support. It demonstrates how students are not only meeting expectations, but consistently exceeding them. In particular, the school is proud that its English Department has been recognised as the top-performing in the UK independent sector for value-added progress, underlining the strength of teaching and learning at the heart of the school.
At Queen Anne’s, every student’s journey matters, and this recognition shows the meaningful difference made at each stage of their education. This success is driven by the dedication and ambition of the students, the expertise and commitment of teaching staff, and the strength of the wider school community.
We look forward to our upcoming Open Morning on Friday 27 February, where visitors can learn more about the environment that enables our students to thrive.
This national recognition marks another proud moment for Queen Anne’s School - empowering futures, inspiring excellence, and celebrating success.
