Points of entry
Most children join St Margaret’s in nursery or Reception. Children in Bluebird Nursery generally move up into our Reception class but we also welcome pupils directly into Reception. We sometimes have places in other year groups and we welcome enquiries from families looking for a new school for their child. As well as day places, we also offer boarding for children in Years 5 and 6.
Year 5 and 6 boarding
Our early start programme is a great introduction to boarding with girls boarding with St Mary’s Lower School.
