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 staff charity concert was a brilliant evening of music, laughter, and community spirit. With everything from classical gems to crowd-pleasing favourites, the staff performers really showed off their secret talents. Most importantly, it was a wonderful way to come together and raise money - thank you to everyone who took part and contributed!
Happy Chinese New Year – Year of the Horse! 🐴
Our school was buzzing with colour, creativity and celebration this week! From violin performances and lantern craft to painting Year of the Horse ornaments and finishing with dumpling-making, our girls fully embraced the traditions.
A special thank you to our wonderful parents who made these celebrations possible, and also to our staff for organising the activities and our catering team for the delicious Afternoon Tea.
Wishing everyone happiness, prosperity and good fortune in the year ahead! 🐴✨

Westminster School’s netballers prevailed in a tightly fought contest of the highest quality yesterday. A well-deserved victory against Queen’ Gate without a nerve-jangling finale. All ten players were outstanding, working together well and adapting to new positions and partnerships. Hina and Shaj were voted players of the match.
Lawyer turned senior marketing and business leader Lamiya Boumlak led last week`s Wider World talk with advice for students on approaching their own careers. She discussed how she trained in law but moved into leading global marketing campaigns in the field of sport and entertainment (including launching a ski resort in the Middle Eastern desert!). Her practical advice included tips on how to land your dream job and navigating the hidden jobs market.

At Queen’s Gate, we are ambitious for every girl. Within a nurturing, inclusive community where every pupil is known as an individual, we combine intellectual rigour with exceptional pastoral care - encouraging each girl to strive for excellence, celebrate her own progress and grow in confidence, character and compassion. We’re a greenhouse, not a hothouse: fostering achievement, wellbeing and opportunity, and educating the whole girl for success at school and beyond.
