Welcome to St Margaret’s Prep


We offer a holistic and balanced education, with strong values at its heart.

These values provide a framework for our children as they interact with one another, experiencing the challenges and achievements of their educational journey with us. Our aim of ‘Inspiring Excellence’ is central to our commitment to ensure that each pupil aspires to fulfil his or her potential. To achieve this aim, our approach is underpinned by four key pillars: Igniting Interests, Nurturing Individuality, Fostering Exploration; and Realising Potential

OUR PILLARS

Igniting Interests


Ensuring high quality, individualised teaching and learning. 

W.B. Yeats said that education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. We wholeheartedly agree and as a result teaching throughout the school is tailored to inspire each individual child, meeting his or her needs with both class and specialist subject teachers, supported by an extensive array of resources and technology. Children are encouraged to evaluate their own learning and, with support, identify their next steps.

Nurturing Individuality


Encouraging meaningful relationships; offering personalised development.

Our family-focused approach allows us to work with ‘Parents as Partners’ to truly understand each child and to ensure they feel understood, valued and secure. This helps us to nurture their individuality by encouraging meaningful relationships amongst peers, teachers and the wider school community. The result is happy, motivated children.

Fostering Exploration


Providing a stimulating and supportive learning environment. 

We provide a trusted environment that enables our children to feel secure and ultimately have the confidence to take risks. By encouraging positive relationships and time to reflect, we help them understand that making mistakes is part of learning and developing. Our indoor atmosphere and open, outdoor spaces enable children to explore, learn, play, let off steam, think and grow.

Realising Potential


Promoting the highest standards of expectations and achievement. 

We understand that every child is unique. We are committed to developing a culture of learning where pupils seek to be the best that they can be. By working together on an individual level, we inspire our pupils to make sure they reach their full potential. These qualities will remain with them for life, preparing and equipping them to deal positively with whatever challenges the future holds.
