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.

Sunshine, daffodils, and St Margaret’s in full bloom 🌼✨
Today we turned our quiet garden into our very own little St Mag’s Florist 🌸🌿
The children had such a lovely time creating a special bouquet for someone they love. Using beautiful flowers and foliage handpicked from our grounds, each child carefully arranged their blooms and added a special label to make their gift extra personal 💐
We hope our families enjoyed their surprise at pick-up this afternoon. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! ✨
Direction Matters. ⛵
At St Margaret’s Prep, we nurture every child through exceptional pastoral care and strong academic foundations. Because every child is unique, we focus on helping them discover their strengths and guiding them towards the senior school that’s the best fit for them.
Preparing your child not just for the next step - but for a bright and confident future.
Another week, another action packed schedule of sporting events at St Mag’s! ⚽🏐🏃♀️🏉🏑

Remember: teamwork, enthusiasm, skill and dedication – the perfect recipe for success! We can’t wait to hear how you all get on.
The excitement continues tomorrow as our U9–U11 pupils head off to a Cross Country event 🏃♂️ and on Friday we have not one but two fantastic events:

Green Fingers at Work! 🌿
Miss Day has appointed Izzy as our Greenhouse Monitor and Peony as our Terrarium Monitor!
Izzy and Peony are a true credit to our St Mag`s Gardening Club and have shown such a genuine interest, enthusiasm, and care for all things growing. 🌱
We can’t wait to see our greenhouse and terrariums continue to thrive under their wonderful leadership.
Well done, girls! 🌼
One big family.
Five school values.
Endless friendships.
And the best rule of all - it’s cool to be me. 💙
🌍✨ We’re taking part in the Great Big School Clean!
As part of Violet’s role on the Eco Committee, she already hosts a lunchtime litter-picking club with her friends. It’s so lovely to see the children caring so much about our environment and taking pride in looking after the world around them.
To show how much these issues matter to us, we’ve joined the Great Big School Clean, a national initiative running over the next two weeks. Schools all over the country are pledging to collect hundreds of bags of litter - and we’re proud to be part of it!
At St. Margaret’s, we’ve pledged to collect 50 bags of litter. We’ll be doing some litter picking around our school environment and learning more about why protecting our planet is so important.
Most importantly, we’d love your help too! Every small action makes a difference, and together we can help keep our community clean and green. 🌱🧤
