About Queen’s College
Welcome,
Queen’s College has a long history - the oldest school in Taunton - of pastoral care, academic excellence, and a commitment to developing the whole person, as set out in the College’s motto: ‘not for school, but for life’. There is a strong and very evident sense of community. Indeed, Queen’s College is ‘the family school of choice in the South West’. Here is an exciting workplace, with care at its heart. The breadth of activity will ensure that challenge and opportunity aplenty is available for our pupils and our staff. As ever, the more you get involved, the more you get back. As a recent joiner myself, I know well the warmth of welcome that colleagues receive, as well as the support and guidance on offer to assist personal and professional development. I would welcome the opportunity to share more of life at Queen’s. Please do get in touch.
