NEWS & EVENTS
In this Wednesday’s Wider World talk, students heard from Baxter McRolston, Anglican Priest and Assistant Curate at St Luke`s & Christ Church Chelsea. He delivered an insightful exploration of the theological foundations and significance of Harvest Festival, drawing on his academic background in theology, politics, and Islamic studies.
It’s was a busy week in PE, with Year 7 and Year 8 hosting Queen’s College for their first netball fixtures, Year 6 taking on strong Glendower teams, and our cross country squad giving their all at the ESSA Cross Country Cup. It was fantastic to see older pupils supporting younger runners, showing true QG spirit - well done to everyone who competed on court and course!
Last week, the Thomas Franks Foundation and Queen’s Gate School, as part of our Harvest Festival, came together to tackle hunger in London. In one afternoon, girls prepared 1,000 meals which were distributed to those in need across London and surrounding areas. A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time to make this huge operation such a success.

Our budding scientists became artists too — sharing their insect drawings and taking a (giant) ladybird for a ride! 🐞🌿
The Year 11 GCSE Geographers had a fantastic day out in Epping Forest last week, exploring how river characteristics change downstream. A successful field trip and great preparation for their Paper 3 exam!
A Level Royal Geographical Society Lecture
Our A Level Geographers enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Royal Geographical Society on Wednesday, where they heard an insightful lecture on inequality from Professor Danny Dorling, one of the world’s leading geographers from the University of Oxford.
It’s always inspiring to have access to world-class thinkers right here in our local area - bringing global perspectives directly to our learning at Queen`s Gate.
We were delighted to welcome Angelica Meneely for last week’s Wider World Lecture. Angelica went to QG from 2005-2019. She graduated from UCL in 2023 with a degree in Comparative Literature and Portuguese. Angelica was a part of the Barbican’s Young Film Programmer cohort and co-curated this year’s Chronic Youth Film Festival: Against All Odds. Angelica currently works at the Almeida Theatre in the Development team, helping to reach significant fundraising ambitions. It was fantastic to have Angelica back to deliver a talk on her life after QG and provide lots of inspiring insights into the world of Theatre and Development.
