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.

🔬 It`s Science Week at Queen’s Gate School!
What a fantastic start to the week – and there’s still more to come!
We kicked things off with our Science Week Jeans Day and a special Bake Sale celebrating the 10-year anniversary of our new labs opening 🎉🧪 – all in support of Save the Children. Then, the Royal Institution Show after school wowed us all!
Science Week energy continued today across the school, with lessons, activities and the Explorer Dome for the Junior School girls all day!
Coming up:
Explorer Dome sessions for Senior girls, our LVI Biologists heading to ZSL, the Science Week Quiz, an evening theatre trip to see Lost Atoms, and Year 10 are heading to the Science Museum to round off an inspiring week!
🔬As we celebrate a week dedicated to scientific thinking, innovation and discovery, we are reminded of the real strength of STEM at Queen’s Gate. With our strong STEM focus, many of our students go on to study subjects such as Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, Mechanical Engineering at UCL, and Creative Computing at the University of the Arts London as well as many other leading universities – and being based in South Kensington means world-class institutions like the Natural History Museum are right on our doorstep, bringing science to life beyond the classroom.
A brilliant celebration of science, innovation and 10 years of inspiring lab learning!
