Welcome to St. Margaret’s Prep School
We know that finding the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions parents face. That perfect environment, suited especially to your child, where they will learn, grow and embark on a journey of discovery and adventure. At St. Margaret's Prep, we pride ourselves on being just this.
Our children are happy, curious and kind. They thrive in our beautiful, countryside school, where we prioritise a holistic education, fostering character development alongside academic excellence.
Whilst academic achievement is high, so is our focus on wellbeing, as we know that happy children are high achieving children. We nurture our pupils and develop the characteristics and qualities we know they will need to build bright futures. We ensure they are fully prepared for the next steps in life, both in the classroom and beyond.

Supporting every child to achieve their goals 🎨🖌
Here at St Margaret`s, we are committed to providing an engaging and appropriately challenging curriculum that nurtures each child’s unique abilities and talents. Every pupil deserves an education that helps them reach their full potential - intellectually, creatively, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
We inspire a love of learning, encourage curiosity, and support our pupils to become confident researchers and collaborative learners.
We also prepare children for academic success and future scholarship pathways. From Year 3, we hold regular conversations with parents to map out clear roadmaps for each child’s future, offering guidance and tailored support throughout the scholarship process.
In Art, Prep pupils enjoy weekly lessons with our Head of Art, exploring elements like line, symmetry, and form. They discover a range of artistic styles -from architecture to embroidery - while learning about cultures and famous artists. Each unit ends with a creative 2D or 3D project, bringing their ideas to life.
