About Queen Margaret's School
Established in 1901, QM is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 10-18. You will find us in glorious parkland about six miles south of York. But we are much more than our surroundings, we are more than a school.
We specialise in building self-belief in our students. Both our culture and our attitude to learning stem from this singular purpose.
For us, every girl's journey to fulfilling her potential begins with self-belief - it is the foundation for unlocking strong friendships, academic achievement and lifelong resilience.
By combining a girls-only education with supportive staff and small class sizes we create the most effective environment for nurturing self-belief.
Girls do so much better in single-sex education and here we see our pupils engaging enthusiastically in a range of activities - academic, sport, extracurricular and social. No airs and graces, no frills or make-up, just girls getting stuck in, and having fun while they do it. They achieve academically (outstandingly so), they come from a variety of backgrounds and, with an increasing emphasis on the level of support available, we are proud to continue making a QM education possible for an increasingly diverse range of girls. Our girls have homes all over the world - many girls board, not because they have to, but because they want to. The girls are the focus of life at QM and are at the heart of everything we do. It’s this focus and an individualistic approach that allows our girls to carve their own path, and flourish.
