Find space to blossom at St Margaret’s

St Margaret’s aims to make choosing the right school for your daughter, at any stage of her development, a little less daunting. Its team recognises the importance of a decision that has the potential to shape your daughter’s entire future, but they also understand girls – how they learn, how they play and how they develop. School values of respect, equality, hard work, ambition and community are at the heart of all that St Margaret’s does.

In a bright, spacious and well-equipped building with secure, grassed playground facilities, from the first day of 1 Junior, St Margaret’s nurtures the communication skills, resilience, self-confidence and global outlook necessary for its pupils to thrive in an everchanging world.

The only girls’ school in Aberdeen, St Margaret’s has around 370 pupils ranging in age from three to 18. The school is large enough to offer flexibility and choice in terms of the curriculum and extra-curricular activities, but small enough to ensure that each girl is well known within a warm and welcoming atmosphere. St Margaret’s staff are experts in teaching girls and are committed to supporting each student to be all that she can be both inside and outside the classroom. It is in this sort of environment that girls can develop the self-esteem and confidence which will enable them to fulfil their potential and make a positive impact on the world.

St Margaret’s believes that a single-sex education offers girls the space in which their intellectual and physical identity can blossom, a space which is free from stereotype, full of challenge and rich with opportunity and care. Its pupils are socially aware and are prepared to cope with the challenges of the competitive world beyond school.

Pupils at all ages and stages are provided with a variety of extra-curricular opportunities. Music, sport, debating, drama, dance, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and many other activities are available. These are enjoyable in themselves, but they also help girls to develop the skills and personal qualities which will contribute to success and happiness beyond school.

St Margaret’s all-through community, from nursery to sixth year, provides abundant leadership opportunities and fosters a sense of belonging. There are no stereotypes and no glass ceilings: the school provides opportunities for girls to grow in any direction their talents and aspirations take them.

St Margaret’s School for Girls accepts applications all year round. The team looks forward to welcoming you to St Margaret’s and showing you what a special place it is.
