An Exceptional Education for Girls in the Heart of Hampstead
A leading independent school for girls aged 4–16
A small school with a huge heart. Like most schools, we want our girls to be happy, well-rounded and confident, and for them to do their very best academically. At St Margaret's Hampstead, we reach these goals by engaging with each girl on a very personal level, which is something you can do when you have small classes, low teacher turnover and a culture of involvement.
We are delighted to announce that we were voted Number 1 in The Sunday Times league tables for schools without a Sixth Form, 2023.

Where every girl stands out
Here, it is not only the tallest, most athletic girls who represent the school at netball or the most extrovert who get the speaking roles in plays. Everyone is valued, and we encourage and celebrate excellence and enthusiasm in equally high measure. Every girl is involved in the life and experiences that the school has to offer.
A forward-thinking independent school in north London
St Margaret’s Hampstead is a dynamic girls’ school where ambition meets care. Our broad curriculum, expert teachers and exceptional pastoral support create an education that empowers girls to think independently, take risks and become compassionate leaders.
With strong results, a thriving co-curricular programme and a warm, family-centred community, this is a school where every girl is encouraged to shine.
Taught by experts
We recruit and retain the very best teachers in order to ensure that the teaching and learning throughout the school are exceptional, and our staff turnover is very low. We also focus closely on our staff's understanding of the importance of pastoral care in creating a harmonious community.
Practical & prepared
Respect for others lies at the heart of the school community, where the potential and talent of each individual can be recognised, nurtured and realised. At St Margaret's Hampstead, education is seen as a partnership between pupils, parents and teachers.
