The Art Department at Queen’s Gate is an open, airy space that welcomes and encourages pupils to develop their creative talents at all levels. Inspirational images line the walls of the department from younger pupils alongside completed GCSE and A level work.
Reflecting the Art Department ethos, traditional approaches underpin teaching at all levels, with drawing, sculpture, printmaking and painting being taught throughout KS3 and in greater depth at GCSE and A level. Older pupils use their key artistic skills to enable them to express their own personal ideas as they progress through the school, allowing them to experiment widely with different art approaches and methods, culminating in confident, highly individual pieces.
All pupils are welcome to the Department outside of lesson time to pursue their own artistic interests and share creative time with their friends, allowing each pupil to feel that the Art Department is both a learning area and a relaxed, comfortable space where their instinctive creativity can flourish.
There are four members of staff, including the Head of Art and the technician who is responsible for the smooth running of the department.
Our students regularly visit galleries and art shows and our annual A level Art trips include Venice, Amsterdam and New York.
Students participate in various Art competitions and regularly win prizes and merits of achievements. Our annual Art exhibition of GCSE and A level art is held every year in June and welcomes parents, friends and other visitors who unanimously praise The Queen’s Gate Art talent.

The decorations outside school looked fantastic for our Harvest Festival celebrations on Friday. We wanted to think about, and show gratitude for the food that we all have every day, especially from our amazing caterers @_thomasfranks .
We collected food in our Form groups for those in need in our local community. In addition to our weekly food donations, delivered to the Trussell Trust Kensington and Chelsea Foodbank, we sent food parcels in specially designed `harvest boxes`, delivered by our Lower Sixth Girls as part of their `Charities and Outreach Fridays`. There were certainly some creative forms of packing!

Last week, we hosted our first Donor Recognition Evening at Queen’s Gate School to thank our parents, PTA members, and governors for their unwavering support throughout the year. The evening included student-led tours, where our pupils proudly showcased the new facilities and developments made possible by the generosity of our community.
Money donated in recent years has greatly helped with the refurbishment of the Junior School Library, the Senior School Library Extension, our amazing Reception classroom, brand new Senior School bathrooms, and a fresh lick of paint across the school.
We are now excitedly planning our Birthday Ball event in January 2025, which will be our next major fundraising initiative. We look forward to building on our successes and continuing to enhance our school facilities in the year ahead. Thank you once again to all our wonderful donors for making this journey possible!
For existing parents and QG Alumni, check your emails for information on how to secure you tickets to what`s sure to be a wonderful evening.

If you asked an Upper or Lower Sixth Queen’s Gate girl what she most enjoyed about the Sixth Form, she would probably reel off the lengthy list of opportunities available or the many events and traditions that punctuate each academic year. If you asked her to arrive at just one, she would undoubtedly say ‘the sense of community`.
We harness the unique spirit and energy of our school community to get the absolute best from our girls. Through the provision of a broad academic curriculum, an extensive co-curricular programme and a wealth of leadership opportunities, our aim is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills and personal drive needed to forge their individual paths in our rapidly changing world. Our strong sense of identity and community is predicated upon this aim.

At the Parents Coffee Morning in the Junior School, this Friday, we will also be hosting a `Second Hand Sale` for QG school uniform, PE kit and Pre-Loved Clothing, to raise money for the Queen`s Gate Foundation. We encourage the QG community to contribute to our commitment to sustainability—ensuring that quality uniforms are reused rather than wasted, giving them a fresh opportunity to be worn by someone new, once older girls have outgrown them!
