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.

Every child has their own story, and we love getting to know it. 💛
Our pupils have been spending time in the Achievement Hub, sharing what they enjoy, what they’re proud of and what they’d like to try next. We listen, learn about their strengths and make sure each child has the support and encouragement to do their best.
As they grow, regular check-ins help us notice new interests and achievements. We can help them find clubs and activities they’ll enjoy, while their ACTIVE Portrait builds a record of their learning journey.
It’s one more way we help every child at St Margaret’s feel known, valued and proud of who they are. Just look at them making the space their own! ✨

🎨 Year 6 Art | Shape Bursts
Year 6 have been getting creative in Art, exploring shape bursts using one-point perspective. They have been focusing on the elements of art, including line, shape and space, while using patterns as a principle of design.
They have also been experimenting with gradients and blending colours to add depth, movement and interest to their designs. We love seeing their creativity come to life! ✨
