International Boarding School

Academic excellence.

A nurturing home from home.

A modern British education.

Queen Margaret's is a small boarding school in the UK, just six miles south of the historic City of York.

We are located on a stunning countryside estate, yet just a short distance from major travel routes. We're a two-hour direct train ride from London, and just an hour's drive from Manchester airport. This means we are easy to reach and can offer girls a safe home from home.

We help girls aged 11-18 to nurture their talents, explore their passions, and achieve excellence. We do this with our exceptional modern British education, personalised learning, extensive enrichment activities, and stunning facilities - all in a caring and supportive community.

We welcome girls from all around the world. As winner of the UK Independent School of the Year for Student Wellbeing*, we are experts in caring for students, nurturing their talents, and helping them find their voice. With under 300 students, our girls get the personalised attention they deserve.

Our school is the starting point for a bright future, and we have a track record of top academic results and prestigious university destinations. The Queen Margaret's experience lets girls flourish into confident young women who are independent, happy and successful.
