Pupils secured places at top universities including Oxford, Warwick, Manchester, Durham, Exeter and Bath.

Olivia Mowat will continue her studies in the United States after being awarded a scholarship to Wofford College in South Carolina.

The pupils will read a broad range of subjects at their chosen destinations including medicine, law, animation and games, psychology, English, film and television studies and architecture.

“At Queen Anne’s we aim to guide each girl to discover her passions and potential; helping prepare her for life beyond our gates,” headmistress Julia Harrington said.

“Despite the many challenges thrown at these young people in the last 18 months, they have thrived both inside and outside of the classroom, showing a remarkably positive attitude to their learning and true resilience.” 

This year 35% of the Upper Sixth exams sat were in STEM subjects, with 52% of those achieving A* or A. 

Many of these students are going on to study medicine, including head girl Anna Holland.

She will be heading to Nottingham after gaining A* in biology and psychology and A in chemistry.

Pupil Jasmine Booth is to study at The University of Leeds after achieving three A*s.

Mark Richards, senior deputy head at Queen Anne’s School, said: “As a Microsoft Showcase School, Queen Anne’s School already had the infrastructure in place to deliver a full remote timetable of lessons during the lockdowns. 

“This means that the students completed the whole curriculum and could be carefully assessed against the specification.” 

All music and art students scored A*, A or B and 100% achieved A* or A in drama.

Violinist Maya Fear, from Reading, recently won the Berkshire Young Musician of the Year and will read Music at Oxford after achieving A*s in music and mathematics and A in physics.

And Olivia Davies is going on to the University of Edinburgh to study fine art and history of art after gaining A*, A, A.

Olivia said she is “delighted” with her results saying that after a strange two years it was good to see the hard work pay off.

Even those studying humanities were in on the success with sportswoman and head girl Jasmine Veitch, from Marlow, achieving A*s in PE, geography and psychology and will read geography at Durham University.

“We monitor academic progress closely throughout a girls’ time at Queen Anne’s and never has this detailed approach been more important than during the Pandemic,” said deputy head of Teaching and Learning Gill Little.

“As these results show, we are able to add value as this careful monitoring combined with small class sizes and expert teaching we can be confident that students make significant progress during their time with us.”
