As one of the only other schools in the UK with a dedicated on-site Equestrian Centre, we’re particularly saddened to hear of Leweston’s closure. Our thoughts are with the whole school community at what must be an incredibly difficult time.

For families considering their next steps and seeking a similarly dedicated equestrian setting, we would warmly welcome a conversation about boarding at Queen Mary’s. We understand how important it is to find a school that feels like the right fit, and would be very happy to offer guidance and answer any questions.

💙 Making a difference, together.

We’re delighted to announce our chosen school charities for this academic year: Alzheimer’s Society, RSPCA and Martin House Children’s Hospice.

Throughout the year, our Queen Mary’s community will come together to raise funds and awareness for these three incredible causes, supporting dementia research, championing animal welfare and helping provide vital hospice care for children and their families across our local area.

From fundraising events to community initiatives, every contribution will help make a meaningful difference. 💫

We look forward to sharing more about our plans soon. Thank you, as always, for your continued generosity and support as we work together to make a positive impact.

🔎🧪 Case closed? Year 9 become Crime Scene Investigators!

Our Year 9 scientists put their investigative skills to the test in a CSI challenge to uncover who stole the exam papers!

From analysing hair and fibre samples to investigating fingerprints and using chromatography, pupils gathered and examined evidence, scrutinised alibis and pieced together the clues before reaching their final verdict.

A fantastic opportunity to put scientific knowledge into practice, sharpen critical-thinking skills and discover the power of science in solving real-world mysteries. 🕵️‍♀️

🎭✨ Bringing the classics to the stage!

Bringing Greek mythology to life through the power of music, storytelling and performance, the experience offered a fresh perspective on classical themes and their enduring relevance in the modern world.
