- The Queen's School, Kew, is a Church of England primary school in the London Borough of Richmond, England. We are a Voluntary Aided two-form school in the parish of St Anne's. Queen's encourages every child to reach their full potential, nurtured and supported in a Christian community, which lives by the values of love, compassion, and respect. The Queen's School has proudly served our children for more than 200 years. Now we look to future generations and the learning journey they need to equip them for the 21st century. We welcome applications from all members of the community and we ask all to respect the Christian Ethos of our school and its importance within our community. If you are considering The Queen’s Church of England School for your child, you are warmly invited to make an appointment to visit once your child has reached three years of age. Every year we admit thirty children to each of our two reception classes, sixty in total. If we are oversubscribed we will allocate places using our admissions criteria which are available to view in our Admissions Policy. We encourage you to read both our Admissions Policy and Richmond’s Guide, “Admission to Richmond’s Primary Schools”, which is updated and published each August, the year before your child enters reception. Please note that children applying who have older siblings at Queen’s still need to apply for a reception place in the usual way. Following an application, if we are unable to offer a place for your child, their name will be placed on a waiting list operated by the school by the oversubscription criteria. The waiting list remains open until the end of the summer term. Parents who wish their child to remain on the waiting list beyond the end of the summer term must notify the Local Authority in writing. You have the legal right to appeal against a decision not to offer your child a place at Queen’s. You are entitled to appeal for a place even though your child may have received an offer of a place at another school. Parents wishing to appeal should obtain an appeal form from the school. The form should be sent to the Clerk to the Appeal panel, c/o The Queen’s Church of England Primary School. Appeal Applications must be received by the school within 20 school days, starting from the National Offer Day. More information on appeal rules can be found in the latest Richmond Guide and our Admissions Policy. Governors provide a strategic view that sets out the broad framework within which the Headteacher and her staff run the school. We focus on the school’s Vision Priorities and statutory responsibilities. The Headteacher and staff report to the governors who offer support and challenge to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children. We conduct ourselves in line with our Standing Orders. The bulk of Governing Board work takes place through Governor Committees that focus on specific areas of our work. The Full Governing Board meets six times a year and delegates work to the committees through the Committee Terms of Reference. Supporting our classroom learning is an endless list of inspirational activities. Read all about them in our newsletters, find out about our most exciting events and learn more about our fabulous music, sport, and clubs. Queen's School lies at the heart of Kew, and we reach out to many local organizations. From our beautiful churches to the community's after-school, music and sporting groups, we aim to build our children's connections with their neighbors. We maintain links with former pupils, often through music, as they go on to secondary school and out into the wider world. Our annual concerts at the Barn Church bring all ages together to celebrate our community. Enjoy these pages as we go beyond the school gates. The National Association of Head Teachers has partnered with Family Action to be the president’s charity and throughout the year they will be supporting parents, pupils, and teachers to work together to ensure young people get the very best from their time at school. The theme of the partnership is "school readiness" and preparing your child for the school day has a big impact on educational attainment - so if a child comes to school without having had a good night’s sleep, or if they start the day on an empty stomach, this will hurt their ability to learn. Over the next few months, a series of leaflets aimed at supporting parents, pupils, and teachers will be published. The Queen’s School has Vision Priorities that provide a clear focus for actions and decision-making in the school. This is our School Development Plan. We're now coming to the end of our most recent two-year cycle, and thinking about our priorities for the next two years. The process began in 2011 when the Governing Body asked children, parents, staff, governors, and other stakeholders for their views. At our first Vision Day that was attended by all staff, governors, and parent representatives, ten long-term Vision Priorities for the school were agreed upon. View full school

- The spirit and heart of this very special community ensure the inclusion of every pupil across all ages and abilities. Commitment to fulfilling the potential of each individual can be found deeply rooted in every member of staff, all of whom share a joined-up approach to each child’s educational journey. With shared values and educational expertise, the family at Queen’s ensures the individuals entrusted into the care of the College are nurtured to be the best they can be. Mutual respect and positive attitudes allow children to take informed risks, make mistakes and learn how to learn in a supportive and empowered way. We aim to make Queen’s a center of excellence for thinking and creativity which provides a bespoke, individualized education, designed to meet the needs of every member of the community, irrespective of pastoral or learning needs. We strive to develop thoughtful, confident, resilient young people who can take their place as leaders of society in the future, with the spiritual and moral fiber needed to do the right thing and the flexibility of mind and problem-solving skills to be adaptable. We are proud that, when students leave Queen’s, they are well-rounded and fulfilled young adults, ready to take on the challenges of life with a truly global outlook. Queen’s College, originally named the West of England Wesleyan Proprietary Grammar School, was founded in 1843 and adopted its present name in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. The location of the school has also changed. Although situated on Trull Road since 1846, the school was first sited in Castle House within the grounds of the Castle. The school owes its foundation to leading local Methodists who were dissatisfied by the educational opportunities available to non-conformists. Their ambition was in line with that of the University of London, with which the school became closely associated, to provide "a regular and liberal course of education." Despite the huge changes to the education system during the long history of the school, Queen’s College continues to hold to this inaugural aspiration. The cost of doing so is now more than the fees of nine guineas charged to the youngest of the initial intake of 34 pupils. However, the fact that the school roll is currently 700 suggests that many parents continue to believe that Queen’s College provides value for money. It counts among its alumni a Nobel Prize winner, a Lord Chief Justice, Cabinet ministers, captains of industry, sports champions, and many others who have excelled in various fields in keeping with the school motto that pupils should be prepared not for study but life: "nonscholae sed vitae discimus." This has only been possible over the decades because of the dedication of the School’s staff and the effective leadership of a distinguished line of fine Headmasters. These stretch from Mr. Thomas Sibly, who served the school for its first 40 years to the incumbent. Each has ensured adherence to the principles of the School’s founders whilst adapting to the circumstances and demands of the time. This is most obvious in the expansion and modernization of the campus with the acquisition of the old Civil Service playing fields and development of a new Sixth Form Centre as the most recent examples of this development. Originally the School was comprised overwhelmingly of borders until the last quarter of the 20th Century whereas today, day pupils form 60% of the population, ranging from babies to 18 years of age. Similarly, from being a School exclusively for boys, girls now make up half the School body since their admittance 40 years ago. Queen’s College can claim to be truly co-educational with all the benefits that ensue for its pupils, socially and academically, and in the performing arts and sport. But the school exists to serve more than its own. This was most vividly demonstrated during World War I and World War II when 99 former pupils and staff of the School were killed on active service. When Queen’s College stood in relative geographical isolation, reinforced by the nature of boarding education, its links with the town were limited. However, as the town has grown around the school so Queen’s has embraced the local community. Its facilities are increasingly used by clubs and societies based in Taunton and its pupils are more engaged with local society through charity work, activities associated with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme (adopted since the inception of the scheme), and various links with local schools. As an institution, Queen’s College is an important part of the history of the town but it is also proud to play an integral role in the life of contemporary Taunton. View full school

- At Queen's, we value our people and are committed to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. From department assistants and librarians to admissions coordinators and researchers, our staff and faculty are the heart of the Queen's experience. We are people who want to learn, discover, think, and do. We push the limits of what can be achieved and develop ideas that can make a difference. For more than 175 years, our community has been more than a collection of bright minds – Queen's has attracted people with an ambitious spirit. We imagine what the future can be and work together to realize it. Queen's is located in the city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, half-way between Montreal and Toronto, two of Canada's largest cities. Kingston is situated on Lake Ontario's shores, near the entrance to the St. Lawrence River and Thousand Islands, and the Rideau Canal. The best way to get to know Queen's is by coming to visit. Explore our historic buildings, attend cultural events, and spend some time in our distinguished museums, archives, and galleries. We love sharing our campus and community! Queen's University has developed several strategic plans and other documents that help define the University's priorities and guide its decision-making. These plans work collectively to advance the University's vision as Canada's research-intensive University that delivers a transformative student learning experience. In particular, the Strategic Framework serves as a capstone to Queen's strategic planning exercises over the past few years, by identifying the four key strategic drivers that will advance the University's mission to 2019. Queen's University is the Canadian research-intensive University with a transformative student learning experience. Here the employment experience is as diverse as it is entertaining. We have opportunities in multiple areas of globally recognized research, faculty administration, engineering & construction, athletics & recreation, power generation, corporate shared services, and many more. We are committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from individuals from equity-seeking groups such as women, racialized/visible minorities, Indigenous/Aboriginal peoples, persons with a disability, persons who identify in the LGBTQ+ community and others who reflect the diversity of Canadian society.

- Our inspiring alumni comprise outstanding scholars, Nobel Prize winners - such as Seamus Heaney and David Trimble - and influential leaders who are making an impact in Northern Ireland and across the globe. Over 94% of Queen's graduates are in employment or further study six months after graduation. Our graduates are dominating senior leadership positions in 80 of Northern Ireland's top 100 companies and making a difference in over 120 countries. One of the UK's most prominent campus universities, and the 9th oldest, we blend our proud heritage with cutting-edge facilities for the best experience of University life. We are ranked in the top 200 universities in the world (QS World Rankings, 2019). Founded in 1845 as Queen's College Belfast, we became an independent university in 1908. Today, we are a Russell Group member, combining excellence in research and education with a student-centered ethos. Queen's is one of the largest employers in Northern Ireland. We support 1 in every 74 jobs here, while our spin-out companies support 1,850 high-value jobs and generate an annual turnover of £215 million. Our quality graduates and world-leading research also help to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Belfast is now the top investment destination for USA FDI in Cyber Security thanks to the groundbreaking work carried out by our Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT). Queen's University Belfast was founded by the Royal Charter in 1845. Founded by Queen Victoria, the Queen's University in Ireland was designed to be a non-denominational alternative to Trinity College Dublin, controlled by the Anglican Church. The University was made up of three Queen's Colleges - in Cork, Galway, and Belfast. Although it was the first University in the north of Ireland, Queen's drew on a tradition of learning that goes back to 1810 and the Belfast Academical Institution's foundation. Its collegiate department, which provided University-style education, closed with Queen's and four of its professors, and many of its students transferred to the new college. The most critical date in the early years of the University's life was 1908 when the three Queen's Colleges, and the Royal University (which replaced the Queen's University in Ireland in 1879), were dissolved and replaced by the Queen's University of Belfast and the National University of Ireland. As an independent institution, governed by its own Senate, Queen's flourished. Increasing student numbers and new staff were accommodated in the number of new buildings, and the academic program increased in range. Arts, Science, Law, and Medicine, were supplemented by Faculties of Commerce, Applied Science and Technology, Agriculture, and Theology. Today, Queen's is one of the leading universities in the UK and Ireland, providing world-class education underpinned by world-class research.

We imagine what the future can be and work together to realize it. Queen's is located in the city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, half-way between Montreal and Toronto, two of Canada's largest cities. Kingston is situated on Lake Ontario's shores, near the entrance to the St. Lawrence River and Thousand Islands, and the Rideau Canal. The best way to get to know Queen's is by coming to visit. Explore our historic buildings, attend cultural events, and spend some time in our distinguished museums, archives, and galleries. We love sharing our campus and community! Queen's University has developed several strategic plans and other documents that help define the University's priorities and guide its decision-making. These plans work collectively to advance the University's vision as Canada's research-intensive University that delivers a transformative student learning experience. In particular, the Strategic Framework serves as a capstone to Queen's strategic planning exercises over the past few years, by identifying the four key strategic drivers that will advance the University's mission to 2019. Queen's University is the Canadian research-intensive University with a transformative student learning experience. Here the employment experience is as diverse as it is entertaining. We have opportunities in multiple areas of globally recognized research, faculty administration, engineering & construction, athletics & recreation, power generation, corporate shared services, and many more. We are committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from individuals from equity-seeking groups such as women, racialized/visible minorities, Indigenous/Aboriginal peoples, persons with a disability, persons who identify in the LGBTQ+ community and others who reflect the diversity of Canadian society.
