QUEEN'S College has been ranked in the top 20 independent schools for sport, by the School Sports magazine
Queen’s has been recognised in the ‘Best Independent Sports Schools of 2015’ league table, after hundreds of schools submitted their results in an effort to feature amongst what the magazine describes as ‘the best of the best’.
The results were based upon 20 different sports and more than 120 national competitions.
Director of Sport, Simon Copeland, said: "We are thrilled to gain such a resounding endorsement for the superb sport here at Queen’s.
"It is a testament to the hard work of the students and the dedication of our talented staff and I know it will act as further motivation for our teams this coming season."
The impressive development of sport at Queen’s College has seen the likes of Arul Suppiah (director of cricket) and Ian Haley (director of hockey) joining the coaching team.
This term alone, only two weeks in, Queen’s have a candidate for the 2016 Olympic training squad in Lillehammer, a Year 12 girl called up into the U18 England hockey team, an International Polo Team member selected to compete in Florida, and the fastest U16 individual medley swimmer in the country.
