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.

Earlier this week, Year 5 enjoyed making and tasting their very own chunky vegetable soup! 🥕🥔
There was lots of chopping involved, giving everyone the chance to practise their food preparation skills.
With the colder weather setting in, a warm, hearty bowl of homemade soup was the perfect choice! 🍲
There’s nothing quite like the smile that comes with “I did it!” 💙
At St Mag’s, we love seeing our children have a go, encourage their friends and feel proud of their achievements. With space to explore and plenty of opportunities inside and outside the classroom, there’s so much to enjoy.
Come and get to know us at our Open Morning. Meet our teachers and pupils, explore our grounds and find out how your child could become part of our school family.

🏉 What a fantastic game of rugby on Wednesday for our U10s and U11s against South Lee!
A brilliant display of teamwork, determination and sportsmanship from all the children. So lovely to see everyone giving their best, supporting one another and enjoying the game.
Finished off with a lovely match together afterwards - a perfect way to round off a great afternoon! ✨
Well done to all the players and thank you to South Lee for a great match! 🏉

At 11am, our St Mag’s community came together to mark Remembrance Day and observe a two-minute silence. The Last Post, beautifully played by Ben Moss, followed by a thoughtful reading from our Year 6 Prefects, provided a very special moment of reflection for us all.
We are incredibly proud of the respect and thoughtfulness shown by our children as we remembered all those who have served and sacrificed.
We will remember them.
