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.

On Monday last week, we were delighted to welcome @royalhospitalschool where members of the RHS band kindly introduced our children to a range of musical instruments. It was wonderful to see so many of our children and even some of our former pupils creating and embracing making music together. 🥁 🎵
Thank you RHS for a wonderful day! 💙
Wow! Prep, you’ve outdone yourselves again! 🌟
Thank you, Mrs Gostelow, for another amazing Easter Concert - we loved every second are are counting down the weeks to Speech Day!
Yesterday was a wonderful celebration of musical theatre, with each year group bringing the stage to life through scenes from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Annie, Matilda, and Shrek. 🎭✨
We also took a trip down memory lane to the Young Voices concert at the O2 back in January — such a joy to hear the children perform their favourite songs once again! 🎶💙
Let us introduce you to our St Mag’s chicks 🐣
Every spring, we bring in eggs and an incubator, giving our Early Years children the magical opportunity to watch the chicks hatch and grow. Over a couple of weeks, they learn how to gently handle and care for them.
The children are incredibly kind and patient, loving the chance to stroke and look after the chicks. It’s wonderful to see their excitement as they notice how much the chicks change and grow each day 💛
With just two days to go until our Open Day, there’s still time to discover what St Margaret’s Prep can offer your child ✨
Are you looking for smaller class sizes, strong pastoral care, and more opportunities for adventure and growth?
At St Margaret’s Prep, we’re here to help every step of the way 💙

Yesterday, our Year 6`s got busy in the kitchen baking delicious Mini Egg cookies 🍪🐣
A fun (and very tasty!) cookery session full of creativity, teamwork, and chocolatey smiles! 🐣 🍪
We’re so excited for our Easter performances this week! ✨
Mrs Gostelow, our Head of Performing Arts, has been working tirelessly to make this year’s Easter showcases as amazing as ever. The stage is set, and we can’t wait to see everything the children have been learning in their Performing Arts lessons this term.
It’s always such a joy to watch their confidence grow and shine on stage - bring on the performances! 🎭
Last week, we were delighted to welcome back a former St Mag’s pupil, Emma, who is now studying at the Royal Hospital School on a music scholarship. 🎶
She returned alongside RHS to introduce our children to a wonderful range of musical instruments, embracing the joy of making music together. It was such a special experience for everyone involved!
It was truly lovely to see Emma thriving, and a proud moment to know that St Mag’s helped provide the foundations and the start of her journey to where she is today. 💫
