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.

Yesterday, the Junior School gathered at St Stephen`s Church to celebrate the end of another successful academic year. Principal, Miss Amy Wallace is pictured congratulating one of our prize winners.
We also said farewell and congratulations to our 11+ leavers who are moving up to Queen`s Gate Senior School and other top schools, including City of London Girls and South Hampstead High School.
Well done to everyone, it’s been a fantastic year!
Our LIV students recently enjoyed a fantastic and memorable trip to Bhaktivedanta Manor in Watford. From the moment they arrived, pupils were fully immersed in a rich cultural and spiritual experience.
One of the highlights of the day was a cart ride pulled by two enormous oxen followed by a chance to meet the resident cows. Students also had the opportunity to observe a traditional religious ceremony, offering a fascinating insight into Hindu worship and community life.
The group was treated to a delicious cooked lunch, which many students described as a real highlight of the day. Later, everyone got involved in lively traditional Indian dancing, bringing plenty of energy and smiles all around. The visit ended with a calming Ashtanga yoga session, giving students the chance to relax and reflect on their experiences.
Overall, the trip was a great success. Our LIV students represented the school brilliantly and clearly had a wonderful time, returning with new knowledge, appreciation, and plenty of happy memories.
So special to see the Queen’s Gate network in action ✨

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.
