St Margaret’s Preparatory is a co-educational independent school in Gosfield, Essex, for children aged 2-11 years.
Set in eight acres of stunning parkland, St Margaret’s provides a structured, disciplined yet enjoyable environment where each child is helped to reach their full potential in class, in the arts, in music and on the sports field.
Our Nursery and transition classes offer a small, caring step to onward learning, and our Year 6 students go on to represent St. Margaret’s at a wide range of leading independent schools, many with scholarships and awards in academic and creative areas.
Offering an all-round education, St Margaret’s is a modern school with traditional values, instling a lifelong love of learning throughout a child’s education and beyond. We expect every child to leave our school with maturity, confidence and a sense of independence.
