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.

A Very Special Story of Remembrance ❤️
At St Mag’s, we are proud to be supporting the Poppy Appeal, and this year we have a particularly special story to share from one of our families.
Stanley has been supporting the Poppy Appeal every year of his life! His parents, Amy and Adam, have been poppy collectors for 16 years, and this year Stanley proudly joined them wearing his St Mag’s school uniform.
There is an even more special family connection behind Stanley’s support. His great-grandad, Private Stanley Barrett, served in the Second World War and took part in the D-Day landings, arriving by glider.
When Stanley was born on Remembrance Day, 11th November, his parents felt it was only right to name him after his brave great-grandad, keeping his memory and legacy alive.
What a wonderful family tradition and such a meaningful way to remember those who served and sacrificed so much.
We are incredibly proud of Stanley and grateful to his family for sharing their story with our St Mag’s community.
We will remember them. Lest We Forget. ❤️

A weekend to remember for Edward! 🏉
Edward had an amazing experience at the Saints vs Bath match, where he had the very special opportunity to be a mascot! With his love and passion for rugby, it was certainly an experience to remember.
And the excitement didn`t stop there! On Sunday before half term, Edward was named Player of the Match for his own team – what a fantastic achievement!
A huge well done, Edward. We love seeing you enjoying your rugby and celebrating such brilliant moments both on and off the pitch! 🫶
Come and see what makes St Mag’s so special! 💙
