Diplomacy in action 🌍
Eight Queen’s Gate pupils from Years 10–12 recently took part in the Alleyn’s National Model United Nations Conference, joining students from schools across London for a day of debate, diplomacy and global thinking.
Representing their assigned countries, our pupils put weeks of preparation into practice — researching complex international issues, speaking in formal debate and working with fellow delegates to find solutions.
The conference opened with an inspiring address from Dr Rola Hallam, award-winning doctor, humanitarian and founder of CanDo, whose reflections on her work in healthcare and conflict brought a powerful real-world perspective to the day.
A brilliant opportunity for our girls to challenge themselves, find their voice and engage with some of the issues shaping our world.

🎨 Making her mark
We love seeing our girls take their creativity beyond the classroom.
Queen’s Gate UVI pupil, Charlotte was recently commissioned by a local South Kensington restaurant to create its Halloween window display — putting her artistic skills to work on a very different kind of canvas. 🎃
From developing an idea to bringing it to life in the heart of our local community, it’s wonderful to see Charlotte’s creativity out in the world.
Well done, Charlotte — we think it looks fantastic. ✨

Our teachers know Sophia by name. They know what she lights up for, what she’s really good at and where she can grow.
They know Priya. They know Amara, Charlotte and Yuki.
Each of them, uniquely themselves.
Because at Queen’s Gate, being a small school means every girl can be known, understood and encouraged to flourish in her own way.

📍 We’re heading to the Independent Schools Show!
Queen’s Gate School will once again be at the Independent Schools Show on Saturday 14 November.
We’ve been proud supporters of the Show for several years and always enjoy meeting families, answering questions and sharing our experience of girls’ education in London.
Our Principal, Mrs Lydia Kyle, will also be joining the Show’s programme as an expert speaker. With extensive experience across both Junior and Senior education, she understands the decisions families face at different stages of their daughter’s school journey.
At Queen’s Gate, we also have considerable experience supporting families relocating to London, helping them navigate the British education system and find the right school environment for their daughter.
Come and meet our team and discover more about our intentionally small school in the heart of South Kensington – and the benefits of an education where girls are known, encouraged and supported as individuals.
Visiting the Show? Come and say hello – we’d love to meet you.

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. 🔬🌿
