The Sixth Form Café is a relaxed, welcoming space where students can take time out during the school day. Designed with older students in mind, it offers a comfortable setting to socialise, enjoy freshly prepared meals, or study informally between lessons. The café plays an important role in supporting students’ wellbeing, independence and sense of community as they prepare for life beyond school.

Dedicated Sixth Form study spaces provide an environment that encourages independence, focus and responsibility. Across two floors, students have access to quiet areas for individual study as well as spaces suited to collaboration and discussion. Open throughout the school day, these facilities reflect the expectations of higher education and help students develop strong study habits and effective time management skills.

Located on London Road, the Baxter Gallery is a vibrant exhibition space where students’ artwork is proudly displayed for all to see. Showcasing work from across the year groups, the gallery celebrates creativity, technical skill and individual expression. It provides students with the opportunity to present their work in a professional setting, fostering confidence and recognising the importance of the arts within school life.

Refurbished in 2019, the QEII Upper School Quad was redeveloped by interior specialists to provide additional space and break-out areas for our students. Contemporary, brightly-coloured seating areas are complemented with troughs and oversized pots of greenery and foliage to provide a relaxed ‘campus’ feel.

Lovekyn Chapel is a distinctive and much-loved part of the school, offering a calm and reflective space within a busy school environment. Dating back to 1309, it is the oldest complete building in Kingston and is used regularly for concerts, readings and other school events. With beautiful acoustics and historic character, the chapel provides students with a unique setting for music, reflection and shared experiences.

Named after distinguished alumnus and playwright Michael Frayn, the Michael Frayn Theatre is a professional-quality performance space at the heart of school life. It provides students with outstanding opportunities to take part in drama, dance and music, whether performing on stage or working behind the scenes. With flexible staging, strong acoustics and an adjoining Green Room, the theatre supports both curriculum learning and a wide range of co-curricular productions throughout the year.
