Our Year 8 students recently visited Brompton Cemetery, one of London’s ‘Magnificent Seven’, for a Gothic literature–focused tour. They explored notable graves, Gothic architectural features, and Victorian attitudes toward death to support their upcoming descriptive writing assessment.

Year 3 and 4 workshop at V&A - Pattern, Shape & Me⁠
⁠
Year 3 and 4 students were given opportunities to learn through direct engagement with museum artefacts at the V&A last week. They enjoyed a guided tour of the Islamic Middle East gallery, followed by a hands-on session where they created their own tiles. Geometry and tessellation were explored during this creative process.

There was plenty of Christmas magic at the Queen’s Gate Christmas Fair on Saturday! From the amazing stalls of some wonderful sellers to festive games, champagne stands, and more - all beautifully organised by our incredible PTA. We`re feeling the holiday, community spirit here at Queen`s Gate!

Year 8 visited the Natural History Museum during their Geography lessons last week to experience Our Story, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. The 360-degree show drew them into the unfolding history of our planet, with the walls and floor transforming into sweeping scenes of Earth’s evolution. Sir David’s closing message of hope encouraged the girls to think about the part they can play in shaping the planet’s future.⁠

Set in South Kensington, at the edge of the capital’s educational and cultural heartland, our school is perfectly placed to spark curiosity. Being able to step into the Natural History Museum during a Geography lesson allows learning to stretch beyond the classroom and into the real world.⁠
