It`s that time of year again. Our amazing QG Christmas Fair will be back on 30 November 2024. Put on and organised by our incredible PTA team, we know it`s going to be full of festive fun.
This year, we have set a fundraising target of £30,000 for the Queen`s Gate Foundation.
The Fair will bring community and festive spirit, with children’s activities, Santa’s Grotto, wonderful shopping, and food and champagne bars. And, of course, our ever popular raffle.

Last week we had two brilliant speakers from the branding agency Coley Porter Bell speak to the whole of the Junior School about brand design and the products that they have worked on. These products were well recognised by the girls – Jammie Dodgers, Lego, Maryland Cookies and Tesco. They also learnt a lot about how to get into this world of work, and the types of jobs they could pursue when they`re older.

This morning, the Queen`s Gate community gathered for our annual Service of Remembrance at Holy Trinity Church, which honoured the sacrifices of servicemen and women and the Armed Forces Community. The Service was moving and reflective, with a collection beautiful readings and music, as well as a powerful two-minute silence.
We are incredibly grateful to all those in our school community, and beyond, who played a part in making the service so special.
We have been so excited to hear all about the Queen`s Gate Japan trip that took place in the first week of half-term. 🇯🇵
With an early start, they departed QG, and made their way to Gatwick, arriving in Japan, Saturday 12:30 local time. With no time to waste they headed out to have dinner at a local restaurant, before checking out the view from the Odaiba Waterfront, from the illuminations on Rainbow Bridge to the replica of the Statue of Liberty, which commemorates the French Year in Japan.🇬🇧✈️🇯🇵
The next day they travelled between Tokyo and Toyohashi, taking in the sights of the Japanese landscape as they travelled on the bullet train. A Japanese BBQ was followed by some time off the grid at self-sufficient “Corrugated House” in Toyohashi City, a historic building that was designed with that very purpose. They toured the farm and house and took part in a aizome-dyeing workshop, discovering the art of traditional Japanese indigo dyeing. 🚅🍱🥢
Day 3 started with a trip to the Musashino Clean Center in Musashino City to gain an insight into Japan`s waste management and recycling practices. Then, they experienced a view of Tokyo like no other with a trip to the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. As the sun started to dip they paid a visit to the famous Shibuya Crossing. When the lights turned red at this busy intersection, pedestrians surged into the junction from all sides like a floodgate opening. It`s arguably one of the most iconic modern sights in Tokyo! After another busy day, they relaxed over more delicious food, before heading back to the hotel for a good night`s sleep. ♻️🚸🚦🍜🥟🍤
Day 4`s activities included a visit to Cyberdyne, a robotics and technology company, to discover how advanced tech is being used to improve quality of life; as well as a trip to Tsukuba Space Center JAXA and its Astronaut training facility. This day was wrapped up with a trip to Akihabara, a cultural centre for anime and manga lovers. More fantastic local food was in order and another night`s sleep before the rest of the exciting trip commenced! 🤖🛰️👩🏼🚀✏️🍣🍘🍙🍢🍥🍡🧋
Stay tuned to hear more about what they got up to on the rest of the trip...
Year 11 enjoyed a trip to the National Theatre @nationaltheatre on Wednesday to see a production of Coriolanus with David Oyelowo’s highly anticipated return to the London stage in the title role.
The thrilling performance gave them much to think about ahead of their English GCSE and study of Shakespearean tragedy, as well as their upcoming Drama performance exam.
There was so much to admire in the production as noted by the girls, from performance, to costume to set design - something for everyone!
We think David Oyelowo even gave QG a wave at the end!
