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.

Despite today’s soaring temperatures, the JS girls made the most of their outdoor learning in the park. With plenty of shade and water breaks, they enjoyed the chance to learn beyond the classroom, explore their surroundings and appreciate a welcome change of scene in the sunshine.

Last Sunday, members of the Queen’s Gate community came together in the sunshine for the Lady Garden Foundation Family Challenge at Battersea Park.
It was wonderful to see so many pupils, parents, staff, staff partners, staff children and even one very enthusiastic staff dog taking part in support of this fantastic charity.
Here are just some of our finishers on the podium at the end of a brilliant morning. We are so proud to continue supporting the Lady Garden Foundation and have no doubt that, with Mrs Kyle at the helm next year, this important relationship will continue to go from strength to strength.

The ‘Singin’ in the Rain Jr.’ photos are out now!
Our Junior School pupils lit up the stage with energy, confidence and plenty of theatrical sparkle in their wonderful production of ‘Singin’ in the Rain Jr.’ From dazzling dance numbers to joyful songs and brilliant character performances, the girls brought this much-loved musical to life with real charm.
Families can now view and download the photos via their Splaat login. We hope you enjoy reliving all the wonderful moments from the show.
A huge well done to everyone involved, both on stage and behind the scenes.
Last week, our Principal, Miss Wallace, had the privilege of attending an extraordinary event at the Houses of Parliament, hosted by the Lady Garden Foundation.
The event brought together the charity’s student ambassadors with an inspiring range of industry leaders from sectors including finance, tech, PR, marketing and academia. Alongside Justine Venditti and fellow The Girls’ Schools Association Head Katharine Woodcock, Miss Wallace was proud to fly the flag for education.
Miss Wallace was hugely impressed by the bright young ambassadors in the room. Whether using the thoughtful conversation prompts provided by the Lady Garden Foundation or asking their own questions, they were articulate, curious and committed, qualities strengthened by their important work with this vital charity.
Queen’s Gate is proud to be one of the Lady Garden Foundation’s pilot schools, helping to raise awareness of gynaecological cancers and encouraging girls to speak openly and confidently about these issues.
As Jenny Halpern Prince MBE said at the event: ‘What’s a gynaecological cancer’s favourite sound? Silence.’
We are delighted that Queen’s Gate is helping to lead the change.

What a day! 🌊☀️
With the QG Challenge winners, we enjoyed an incredible half-day trip together. We started with an exciting high-speed ride on the Thames, learning about some of London’s iconic landmarks while enjoying great music and plenty of laughs.
The highlight of the day? Spotting a seal by Tower Bridge! 🦭 She was happily rolling in the water, soaking up the sunshine, and completely stole the show.
After the river adventure, we spent some relaxing time in the park before gathering for lunch and sharing stories from the day.
Amazing people, amazing vibes, and unforgettable memories. Thank you to everyone who made it such a special experience! ✨
