Build your confidence and express your vision.
There are many opportunities to harness your
creativity whether you enjoy performing, dancing or more
visual arts such as painting and sculpture.
Productions
Every academic year all Queen Mary’s pupils, across the year groups have the opportunity to perform on stage. From the opera, ‘Dido and Aeneas’ to ‘Sleeping Beauty: The Ugly Truth’ to a pantomime, ‘Annie’ and Cabaret Nights the opportunities span many genres. Some girls take charge of many technical and backstage functions and like all activities, the whole community encourages participation. The school also supports children who wish to take part in performance opportunities outside of school including musical theatre productions and filming.

Senior mathematicians had an inspiring time at the 'Girls in Maths' workshop. They delved into A-level Maths and Further Maths topics, heard from former Mount pupils who are Hedge Fund Managers & GeoEngineers and discovered how Maths skills supercharge other A-level subjects.
Speech and Drama
Whether you wish to be a lawyer, actor or a CEO, having the skills and the confidence in front of an audience is essential. Our girls enjoy working towards examinations both individually and as part of a team and consistently achieve high grades with over 90% Distinctions in Reading, Acting and Devised Drama.
