Empowering Future Leaders: Queen Mary's School Nurtures Young Women

On 12th February, Queen Mary's School is making headlines as it embarks on its second century, continuing its commitment to empowering young women. Under the visionary leadership of new head, Fe Beadnell, the school remains dedicated to developing confident, capable female leaders who are encouraged to express themselves and pursue their ambitions.

Building Leadership Through Education

At Queen Mary's, leadership is viewed through a compassionate lens. Fe Beadnell emphasizes the importance of listening, resilience, and integrity in leadership roles. The school's innovative HER VOICE: Leadership for Life programme exemplifies this philosophy, focusing on character rather than titles. This initiative champions female role models and enhances the leadership experiences for girls, fostering an environment that values their contributions.

Inspiring Events for Young Girls

One of the hallmark events is the HER VOICE: Leadership for Girls event, which gathers over 50 girls for interactive workshops aimed at promoting leadership skills. Building confidence and addressing topics such as communication and teamwork, this event serves as a reminder of the power of initiative and the importance of each student's voice.

Celebrating International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is another pivotal moment for the school community, featuring a day of workshops led by accomplished women from diverse fields. This event not only celebrates female achievement but also encourages discussions on resilience, ambition, and the multiple avenues that define leadership. Such initiatives promote an understanding that success can take many forms, fostering curiosity and inspiring future leaders.

Creating a Supportive Environment

The nurturing environment at Queen Mary's is designed to cultivate self-belief and adaptability among its pupils. Monthly Twilight Talks with successful businesswomen provide students with real-world insights, showing them that the path to leadership is invariably filled with challenges and learning opportunities. This close-knit community values personal growth and encourages all students to contribute meaningfully.

Academic and Extracurricular Excellence

Queen Mary's School not only prides itself on academic achievements but also on offering a rich array of extracurricular activities. With over 60 clubs, from debating to coding and beyond, students can explore their interests and develop new skills in a supportive setting that prioritizes emotional intelligence alongside academic excellence.
