We bid a fond farewell to our incredible Upper Sixth Formers at our May Day Picnic as they embark on study leave. Their dedication and hard work have shone through and we wish them all the very best in their exams, and can`t wait to welcome them back for their Leavers` celebrations later in the Summer Term.

As we looked back at the VE Day Queen`s Gate bonfire of 1945, we also took the time to honour Nancy Hewins - Queen’s Gate alumna, wartime theatre pioneer, and fearless founder of the all-women touring company, Osiris Players.
In our school archives, we’re proud to hold extraordinary photos of Nancy and her troupe: dressed in costume beside their makeshift tour van, loading props into converted ambulances, and preparing to perform Shakespeare in bombed-out halls, military camps and hospitals. We even have her old school reports - early signs of the determined spirit that would later lead her to redefine theatre under fire.
During WWII, Osiris performed 1,534 shows across the country - often with just seven women doing it all: acting, stage-managing, cooking, even changing tyres. With materials scarce, they swapped Rolls-Royces for a horse and dray, recognising their performances as vital to national morale.
Nancy`s war effort wasn’t just cultural - it was radical.

On Monday, Year 2 and Year 5 took a trip to the National Portrait Gallery @nationalportraitgallery. Year 2 explored the collection, while Year 5 got hands-on in a portraiture workshop—experimenting with pencil, charcoal, collage, and more. Inspired by the artwork around them, they created some truly lovely pieces! #LondonIsOurPlayground #NationalPortraitGallery
