About

Our Ethos: More than a school, we're a family... At St. Margaret's we have a distinctly home-from-home family feel, providing a nurturing environment for our children to grow. We provide a high-quality all-round education, in a happy and caring family atmosphere, so that each child is well prepared for the opportunities and challenges that they will face in life.

We aim to ensure that every child enjoys their learning journey, achieves their very best and becomes a responsible global citizen who can work together co-operatively and with respect for others. We warmly welcome families throughout the year, offering tailored personal tours on a day that suits you, including school holidays.

Enjoy a guided tour of the school, arranged by a member of our friendly Admissions Team who can answer any questions you may have
