Calling Queen’s Gate Community!
Could your career journey inspire the next generation of QG girls?
We’re delighted to be hosting our annual Queen’s Gate Careers Convention on Thursday 19 November 2026 at 6pm, and we would love to welcome our parents and alumnae to Queen’s Gate to share their experience, insight and advice with our pupils.
Whether you work in medicine, finance, technology, the creative industries, law, business, engineering, media, hospitality, AI, management – or a completely different field – we would love to hear from you.
Each year, professionals from a wide range of sectors generously volunteer their time to speak with QG girls as they begin to explore their future. Hearing first-hand about different careers, the routes into them, and the lessons learned along the way can make a real difference as pupils consider their next steps.
Could you give an evening of your time to inspire a QG girl?
If you would like to take part, please contact events@queensgate.org.uk for further information and a participation form.
We would be delighted to welcome you to Queen’s Gate.
Milana and Marta have been exploring the fascinating world of Organic Chemistry – and were very proud of the organic molecules they created!
Here they have successfully built 2,3,4-trimethylpentanoic acid – which is every bit as tricky to build as it sounds. This naturally occurring compound is found in fennel.
With Head of Chemistry, Ms Southern, the girls have been stretching themselves beyond the iGCSE curriculum, exploring the connections between organic compounds and the distinctive smells and tastes of different fruits and vegetables.
A brilliant example of curiosity, challenge and learning beyond the syllabus. 🔬🌿

🎶 Music from every direction
Our GCSE and A Level Music students enjoyed a memorable evening at the Royal College of Music’s Britten Theatre for Electric Dreams: Spatial Sounds.
Using an immersive 360-degree sound system, the concert placed the audience at the heart of the music, combining pioneering electronic works with innovative new compositions — including several world premieres by emerging composers.
A fascinating opportunity for our students to experience contemporary composition, sound design and the creative possibilities of technology in music beyond the classroom.
