We are making a plea to our local community. We want to be creative with space and share our love of reading by creating a library and sensory space bus. Please find our crowdfunding link below:
We are launching an appeal to collect clothes, bedding and food for those affected by last night’s fire. Please bring any donation to the playground tomorrow morning so we can send them to a crisis centre.
Friday we will have a non-uniform day and collect money for this appeal. Please give as much as you can.
We are pleased to share with you that the work happening at Queen's Park Primary has been publicised in this months Teach Primary magazine. We are delighted with the article sharing our passion for Wellbeing and Mental Health, the Children's University and our approach to the curriculum.

This term has been a very busy term with lots going on. We have made new links with the RSPB who have given opportunities for our children to go birdwatching in Paddington Rec. We have been had big meetings with the head of the triborough library service, head of the sports centres in Westminster and the Lord Mayor's Office to make a comprehensive programme for our Children's University over the next few months.
We are also delighted to share with you that our 'in house' Author Avril Macdonald was awarded 'People's Choice Award' for 'The Wolf is Not Invited'
Today we were visited by 2 authors who came into school to share with our children how to write a book. Our intervention groups for dedicated writers got to ask questions of Georgina and Emma authors of 'The College Collection'.
Needless to say, a great time was had by all!
Georgina and Emma praised our children for such fantastic story writing and good questioning. I think we have some authors in the making!
On Saturday 4th March our keen Year 3 musicians were invited to perform at Royal Festival Hall. Along with Mr Almond, our well rehearsed violinists and singers performed amongst many National Philharmonic Musicians and children from across a number of schools.
Many parents were in the audience beaming with pride as their children performed the songs they had practiced with Music Masters, our 'in house' musician team.
As Deputy Head at Queen's Park I was delighted to see such talent and can't wait to see future performances.
Well done to all those who managed to be there.
Nick Corston of STEAM Co came to visit Queen's Park on Thursday. As part of world book day, Reception to Year 6 got to take part in an assembly based on the book and film 'Rocket Boys' a journey of aspiration, invention and family.
Following the assembly we all went outside to watch an official Rocket Launch from our playground. The children absolutely loved it.
Year 4 were lucky enough to then make their own rockets and with the help of Nick try launching them.
Thank you Nick for a great day!
We were excited to welcome some Queen's Park Rangers coaches on Monday. They came in to work with our children on team working skills, football skills and overall sportsmanship.
This is the start of a partnership which will benefit all our children involved in Westminster Children's University. We can't wait to meet the players next.
On Monday 20th February we had a very exciting day at Queen's Park Primary. We officially became Westminster Children's University. We welcomed 5 neighbouring schools, St Stephen's, St Lukes, St Peter's, Essendine and Hallfield and with the help of famous Author Michael Rosen we officially launched.
Westminster Children's University is designed to raise aspirations of the young children across Westminster. Over 500 children have been issued with a passport which will allow them to collect stamps which later convert into a graduation at the University of Westminster.
Already organised activities include sporting events with QPR, author workshops with Feel Brave Author Avril McDonald, dentist workshops, cross rail science workshops and art activities to improve the facias of Westminster Construction sites.
We are excited to begin our mini lecture series with the University of Westminster bringing guest speakers, local community champions running a young champions project and first aid for all year groups.
If you have any questions about our Westminster Children's University please see Mrs Killip or Miss Wilson.
