QCPS in lockdown

Queen’s College Preparatory School in lockdown

As you can see, the pupils at the Preparatory School have been busy during lockdown. From making models inspired by Ted Hughes’ book ‘The Iron Man’, to celebrating Roald Dahl’s ‘The Enormous Crocodile’, to cooking delicious food while learning about weight and mass in Maths, students have been busy learning online, but not too busy to fit in a bit of dancing. Abstract expressionist artist Laura Gee took up residence in the virtual studio, inspiring some colourful paintings.

Meanwhile, Bella in Form VI ran 6.5km with 10 other children in her garden (social distancing measures were in place), raising £10,000 for the Imperial Health Charity. Finally, Lily in Form I helped her mum prepare over 2,000 care bags ready to be distributed to their local hospital. Well done, everyone.

In June, following Government guidelines, some pupils were able to return to school, with other year groups continuing their learning at home. We were delighted then to be able to open QCPS to all year groups for the final few days of the term. It was wonderful to get a chance to see the pupils in person before the summer holiday!
