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.

With it being #NationalOfferDay for primary school places today, we spent the morning with our two Reception classes to see what they get up to!
It’s incredible to see how much they’ve progressed since the Autumn and Spring terms. From settling into school life and learning through play, they’re now preparing for Year 1 with more book-based learning—while still enjoying plenty of fun, hands-on activities along the way.
A huge well done to our amazing Early Years teachers for equipping them with the skills and confidence they need for future success. We’re so proud of how far they’ve come and all they continue to achieve!
We’re proud to share that we’ve achieved our RHS School Gardening Award - Level 1 !🌱
Our gardening journey is officially underway, and we’ve already been exploring the benefits of growing, making our space accessible for everyone, and getting our hands in the soil. 🌷
Next stop… RHS Hyde Hall!
We can’t wait to take our Gardening Club there in September for an exciting all day workshop! 🪴
