We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for a Talk Education Award for Innovation in Education 2026!
Queen’s College, London has been named as a finalist in the 'Thinking beyond the curriculum' category, which celebrates schools that inspire pupils to look beyond the core curriculum, challenge themselves and take their intellectual interests further.
At Queen’s, we know that education should do more than equip pupils with knowledge. It should encourage them to make connections between disciplines and give them the confidence to explore ideas beyond the boundaries of individual subjects. That philosophy drives our Future Ready curriculum and our commitment to creating opportunities for pupils to think independently and ambitiously about both their learning and the world around them.
Natasha Fenwick, Assistant Head – Futures and Innovation, said:
“It’s wonderful to see our approach recognised by Talk Education, particularly at such an exciting moment for curriculum innovation at Queen’s. We have built our research-led Future Ready curriculum over several years, working with universities and global organisations to create challenging and innovative qualifications. Our students will continue to think beyond the curriculum through our bespoke interdisciplinary qualification 'Future Frontiers', the Queen's College, London Diploma and an exciting approach to AI and digital learning which also recognises the importance of a knowledge-rich curriculum."
Richard Tillett, Principal, said:
“Queen’s has always believed in an education that looks beyond conventional boundaries. Our role is not simply to prepare young people for examinations, but to encourage curious, thoughtful and adaptable individuals who are ready to engage with the opportunities and challenges of the future. I’m immensely proud of our pupils and colleagues, whose energy and imagination make that ambition a reality.”
We’re thrilled to be shortlisted alongside schools doing such exciting work across education, and grateful to Talk Education for recognising the importance of innovation beyond the core curriculum.
