Pastoral Care
As Queenswood is a Methodist school, all girls are required to attend chapel services. Special services are held to welcome new girls and farewell Upper Sixth leavers.
The tutor system is a key part of the school's pastoral care. Girls are organised into small groups and assigned to a tutor or their housemistress.

Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
