We take pride in the achievement of each student and celebrate with them in their success.
A wide ranging extra-curricular programme
'All work and no play make Jane a dull girl' is a deviation from the original saying but is wholly applicable to the extra-curricular provision at Queen Mary's High School.
The variety of trips and visits is extensive and enables our students to develop a wide range of transferrable skills which will equip them for their lifelong pursuit of learning and success.
There are many additional activities on offer which are linked to the curriculum. Theatre trips, lectures at local universities, study trips (for example to Auschwitz), fieldwork in Geography and Biology as well as the opportunity to perform with the choirs and orchestra. There are a number of trips abroad which have a subject focus: these have included Iceland, Sicily and the Battlefields of Northern France and Belgium. In addition our annual ski trip is a popular feature on the calendar which always attracts great interest from students from all year groups.
Exceptional care for the individual
The individual needs of our students drive our planning and provision. Lessons provide opportunities for developing teamwork, leadership, cooperation, listening and a variety of other transferrable skills. A key element for success is enjoyment and you would see plenty of that at Queen Mary's High School.
We are a very happy school where pupils are able to balance their academic and social lives well. Our aim is to ensure that all students' abilities are stretched to the full and that they find the tasks they are set challenging from whatever level they approach them.
High quality and committed staff
