Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming both our Year 11 students and their families, as well as prospective pupils and families to our Sixth Form Open Evening/ Subject Fair. Subject Reps and teachers were able to tell students about the 28 subjects that we offer here at Queen`s Gate for A-Level.
The evening was an informative and enjoyable evening and allowed both our current a prospective pupils and good insight into our Sixth Form, where we harness the unique spirit and energy of our school community to get the absolute best from our girls. Through the provision of a broad academic curriculum, an extensive co-curricular programme and a wealth of leadership opportunities, our aim is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills and personal drive needed to forge their individual paths in our rapidly changing world.

Last week, we hosted our first Donor Recognition Evening at Queen’s Gate School to thank our parents, PTA members, and governors for their unwavering support throughout the year. The evening included student-led tours, where our pupils proudly showcased the new facilities and developments made possible by the generosity of our community.
Money donated in recent years has greatly helped with the refurbishment of the Junior School Library, the Senior School Library Extension, our amazing Reception classroom, brand new Senior School bathrooms, and a fresh lick of paint across the school.
We are now excitedly planning our Birthday Ball event in January 2025, which will be our next major fundraising initiative. We look forward to building on our successes and continuing to enhance our school facilities in the year ahead. Thank you once again to all our wonderful donors for making this journey possible!
For existing parents and QG Alumni, check your emails for information on how to secure you tickets to what`s sure to be a wonderful evening.
If you asked an Upper or Lower Sixth Queen’s Gate girl what she most enjoyed about the Sixth Form, she would probably reel off the lengthy list of opportunities available or the many events and traditions that punctuate each academic year. If you asked her to arrive at just one, she would undoubtedly say ‘the sense of community`.

What better way to round off the week than with a bake sale of delicious cakes and treats, generously baked and donated by the Queen`s Gate community.
All proceeds will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support @macmillancancer, as well as all the money made from our Parents Coffee Morning earlier today!
💚 💚 💚
At the Parents Coffee Morning in the Junior School, this Friday, we will also be hosting a `Second Hand Sale` for QG school uniform, PE kit and Pre-Loved Clothing, to raise money for the Queen`s Gate Foundation. We encourage the QG community to contribute to our commitment to sustainability—ensuring that quality uniforms are reused rather than wasted, giving them a fresh opportunity to be worn by someone new, once older girls have outgrown them!

We were delighted to receive the Autumn / Winter 24 edition of School House @schoolhouse_magazine this week and read our contributions to Peter Stanford reports on the multi-faith schools creating a really positive ethos in his feature `EAT, PRAY, LEARN`
" [Queen`s Gate`s] intake, as befits its location at the heart of a diverse capital city, is distributed across many of the religious traditions. There is no majority,` says Wallace, `but a core number of Jewish girls, significant number of Muslims, some from the Middle East, Christians of various denominations including Eastern Orthodox, and some Sikhs and Hindus. One of her favourite moments, she recalls, came in her first year after she joined in September 2022, with the Muslim feast of Ramadan, marked in Islam by a month of fasting, prayer and reflection. `We marked it by having Muslim girls standing up in front of the school and explaining how Ramadan is a real living thing. It was about getting everyone thinking - about how to support their Muslim friends, how it was okay to ask questions, how not to put up barriers even if you don`t have faith yourself.`
The multi-faith environment nurtured at the school, adds
Vice-Principal, Christian Kendall-Daw, includes the way the staff there behave. `One of the things about our school is how staff care for each other and their spirituality. Our team staff have that real interest and understanding of a person`s faith journey? It is reflected, too, in assemblies that are, he says, `a real feature of the school`s life` not a resented legal imposition. When we approach subjects such as meta-physics, our girls are not remotely afraid. Some have quite strong views that religion can be a harmful thing, some are profoundly religious and some questioning. We navigate our way through that, even when trying to deal with world conflicts."
Read the whole feature in the latest edition of School House.
As we begin the week, we are pleased to present yet another member of our Head Girl Team - Santa. Having attended Queen`s Gate from Reception all the way to Year 13, she is incredibly familiar with our school! In addition to her role as a Senior Prefect, Santa also serves as a Drama Prefect and Music Prefect. She engages wholeheartedly in both of these areas, contributing not only within the school but also in the surrounding community.
