QM is the school where self-belief thrives.

Queen Margaret's School for Girls - Our Vision

QM is the school where self-belief thrives.

Our vision is to empower students through the cultivation of their self-belief so that they have a strong mindset to take on the challenges of tomorrow.

Our Ethos

We are a school that specialises in building self-belief in our students. Both our culture and our attitude to learning stem from this singular purpose.

For us, every girl's journey to fulfilling her potential begins with self-belief - it is the foundation for unlocking strong friendships, academic achievement and lifelong resilience.

By combining a girls-only education with supportive staff and small class sizes we create the most effective environment for nurturing self-belief.

Values that We Support and Celebrate

We support and celebrate specific values that underpin our mission to build self-belief in girls.

• Courage - We support and celebrate girls who challenge themselves and expand their comfort zone.
• Commitment - We support and celebrate girls who are dedicated to their responsibilities and who persevere in the face of challenges.
• Curiosity - We support and celebrate girls who enthusiastically pursue their passions both inside and outside the school
• Respectfulness - We celebrate each other’s successes, both big and small
• Kindness - We support and celebrate girls who demonstrate selflessness and generosity towards their peers.
• Fun - We celebrate a positive attitude and the ability to make learning and living at school enjoyable
• Inclusivity - We celebrate and support all girls who express their individuality and embrace diversity.
