About

St Margaret's Hampstead may not be the oldest school in the area, but it is certainly one of the oldest and has a fascinating history. Founded in 1884, it began life as one of many small, privately run schools that dotted the leafy streets of Hampstead, North London. A number of these were owned and run by unmarried women, and they often only took a handful of pupils.

A great many only lasted a decade or two, closing when owners retired or passed away. Happily, St Margaret's not only survived, but it flourished. Today, it proudly continues its legacy in its fifth home under its fourteenth Head and has not a handful of pupils, but 160.

Born in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1850, Elizabeth Isabella Tulloch was the second child (of 10) of a reverend. After working as a governess, as many middle-class ladies did at that time, she opened this school in a new building called Chester House in West Hampstead.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
