Queen’s Gate

When you meet our pupils you will find them intelligent, confident, happy girls who are keen to share with you their enthusiasm for Queen’s Gate. They will tell you about our talented, passionate staff with whom they have formed such close relationships; our 45 clubs; our many stimulating trips.

Our curriculum is broad and exciting. We teach twenty-two diverse subjects, including six languages, and we achieve academic excellence whilst nurturing equally important soft skills. When our pupils progress to the next stages of their academic careers, be it at 11 or 18, they are well-rounded individuals with a love of learning.

We are a small, friendly school. Within the security of our bright, airy classrooms and laboratories, pupils have the confidence to take risks. Whether they are problem solving during Mathematics lessons, creating rockets in STEM Society, or treading the boards in one of our many school plays, our girls are extremely supportive of one another and are willing to have a go at anything.

We like to keep busy and there is always a buzz around school as the next project takes shape. Codebreaking and mystery evenings during the biennial Mathematics

Science is taught by specialist teachers in our well-equipped laboratories; our STEAM Room brings together the arts and sciences in a multi-purpose, dynamic learning environment.

We cherish the fact that girls make progress at different stages of their development. Teaching is differentiated to ensure that all are challenged and all are supported at every point on their journeys.

Our Mathematics curriculum seeks to engender a love of problem solving and creativity.
