About Lady Margaret School
Lady Margaret School is a Church of England academy for girls aged 11-18 situated on Parsons Green in South West London. Established in September 1917, there are currently 763 girls on roll, of whom 166 are in the Sixth Form and 90 teaching and support staff.
It is an outstandingly successful school in welcoming girls of all academic abilities and ensuring that they achieve their full potential. The school seeks to offer a safe, caring and intellectually stimulating environment supported by a strong programme of extra-curricular activities that enables students to go on to lead fulfilled and enriched lives.
Its success is based on a culture of high expectations and aspirations, excellent standards of teaching and a strong commitment to the Christian ethos. However, it remains an inclusive school and girls from other faiths or those who have no religious beliefs at all are welcomed.
Lady Margaret School is a community of great energy and enthusiasm. It is also a community driven by Christian values, and we place great importance on girls behaving with integrity and kindness.
A majority of students stay on in the Sixth Form that has high academic standards. This enables girls to choose undergraduate courses at universities of their choice, including Oxbridge, Imperial and UCL as well as art and music colleges.

We want all our students to become confident, curious and compassionate learners.
Our motto is ‘I have a goodly heritage’. Our aim is for every girl to be happy and successful at school, as a strong basis for a happy and successful future.
As a school, we aim to give all our students a ‘goodly heritage’: an exceptional education, a wide range of opportunities and extra-curricular activities, and a chance to be part of and contribute to a strong community.
As a Church of England academy, we are rooted in our Christian faith, and reaching to everyone. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and our Christian values underpin how we work together as a community.
We aim to offer a safe, inclusive, caring and intellectually demanding environment to enable all our students to benefit from an outstanding secondary education.
Our Ethos
The ethos of the school is that of a caring and purposeful Christian community. Each member of the community is made aware of the high standards of behaviour and work which are expected.
