At St. Margaret’s Prep School, we make education fun and stimulating. We have a reputation for developing exceptionally well-rounded pupils with a love of learning. Our results speak for themselves, with our excellence in scholarships, sport and the arts, particularly music.
What makes St. Margaret’s so special is the warm and nurturing heart at its core, with every child valued and treated as an individual to bring out the very best in them. Quite simply, we are a family, with traditional caring family values.
You’ll feel it when you see our dedicated team helping every child to flourish, celebrating their achievements and recognising their strengths. Most of all you’ll feel it when you meet the children themselves – from Nursery, all the way through to Prep School – delightful, happy, thriving and full of life.
Our pupils are our greatest achievement and we are so proud to be a part of their lives.
If you’d like to know more about St. Margaret’s Prep School and how we do things here, then why not request a prospectus or arrange a visit to our school today.
