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

This term a group of Lower Sixth students have been taking part in a reading project with a local school. During this partnership, pupils from Queen’s Gate visited Wendell Park Primary School every Friday to hear children read on a one-to-one basis.
A particular emphasis during the reading sessions was placed on improving the skill of reading for meaning and pleasure, as well as an opportunity to have enriching and engaging one-to-one conversations with older pupils. Our girls have made a big impact. It is one of our most popular outreach choices and all students involved finish the programme with lasting memories.
There was an incredible display of skill, determination, and sportsmanship at this year’s Senior Swimming Gala! Across three exciting events, pupils from Remove to Sixth Form showcased their hard work and dedication, resulting in a fantastic competition.
A special congratulations to Wyatt, crowned the 2025 Winning House!
🏅 Overall & Remove Champion – Camilla S
🏅 LIV Champion – Elizabeth R S
🏅 Invitational Champion – Hiro Blu H A
Well done to all participants! #QGSwimming #HouseWyatt #SwimmingGala
