Queen Anne’s School is delighted to be a part of the Round Square community of connected schools across the globe.
Through Round Square, schools connect students with their peers from across the world to exchange ideas, learn about each other’s countries and cultures and to discuss and debate some of the most difficult, and sensitive issues facing our world today.
IDEALS
Round Square schools are characterised by a shared belief in an approach to education built around six themes, which are referred to as 'IDEALS', drawn from the theories of the 20th century educationalist Kurt Hahn. The IDEALS are: International Understanding, Democracy, Environmental Stewardship, Adventure, Leadership and Service. These themes align with the Queen Anne's ethos; we value our students as individuals and strive to help them reach their potential. We have a ‘no limits’ approach to the girls’ learning and development that produces excellent academic results and outstanding achievements in every field.
The Round Square IDEALS underpin the organisation's Discovery Framework (see graphic below), which supports us in developing and structuring holistic programmes that build character, competencies and life-skills in our students.
