This week saw the first-ever Queen’s Giving Day, 36 hours of fun, fundraising and community. We were absolutely thrilled to have the support of our whole Queen’s family – pupils, parents and staff (past and present) as well as many friends of the school. Thank you so much to everyone who got involved! Together we raised in excess of £75,000 – an incredible sum which will make a huge difference for our pupils. This year, Giving Day raised funds to support bursaries and two school improvement projects: an Outdoor Discovery area in the Prep School and a Study Centre in the heart of the Senior School. Watch this space for project updates in the coming weeks and months.

If you missed Giving Day, but would like to make a donation and help increase the total it’s not too late to give! Visit queens.givingday.co.uk to show your support.
