A happy school

The most im P ortA nt question that any parents need to ask themselves after visiting a school is, ‘Will my daughter be happy here?’ Our girls’ happiness is our greatest priority. When you visit, your confident, articulate tour guide will be pleased to tell you about the ways in which she has been fulfilled by her time at Queen’s Gate.

The School was founded on the ethos of nurturing individuality, and this is as important today as it was in the 1890s when Queen’s Gate first opened. We believe that self-esteem, self-discipline, and respect and care for others are core values which lie at the heart of personal development.

O ur tA rget is set well beyond the 11+. We aim to ensure that our girls are prepared for all that life has in store and we are very privileged to be able to see them continue confidently on their journeys if they choose to remain at Queen’s Gate for the Senior School.

On a daily basis, Sixth Formers visit lessons and assist with reading and playing games; some run clubs; all build strong relationships, and our girls benefit greatly from spending time with older role models.

We are also fortunate to have specialist Senior School teachers in many subjects including Mathematics, Science, Art, Design and Technology, Computing and languages.

The majority of girls move on to the Senior School at 11+, but girls are fully prepared for entrance examinations at any schools to which they apply in III Form, including St Paul’s, Godolphin and Latymer, Latymer Upper, Wimbledon and boarding schools.
