Bespoke Boarding at QM
Bespoke Boarding is a flexible boarding solution that's tailored for your family.
Bespoke Boarding means that we’ll accommodate the specific needs and preferences of your daughter and family. It means we’ll create the best individual solution for her, so our girls can thrive and flourish.
Above all, we’ll always put their health, emotional well-being and development first, no matter if they’re full-boarders, flexi-boarders or day girls. It also means that we’ll support parents’ busy schedules and help ease the pressures of modern life.

One of the best ways to see how Bespoke Boarding could work for you is to book a visit to QM and talk with our Admissions Team directly. Use the form below to book and Open Day or find a personalised time for you.

Bespoke Boarding in Practice
Always there for her
If they stay at least one night a week, our girls have their own bed that’s ready to use whenever they stay. It’s their own personal space for studying, relaxing, or hanging out with friends, where they can leave their belongings, books and sports gear.
A home from home
Our girls’ safety, well-being, and happiness is at the heart of everything we do. It’s a nurturing community with all the comforts of home, whether they’re staying for one night or seven.
Whatever works for you
That could mean full boarding, weekdays, set days, or something more flexible. We can also accommodate changes in schedules across days, weeks, or terms – whatever you need, we can help make it happen.
Taking care of our girls’ schedules
We can flex daily schedules as well as weekly schedules at short notice, meaning that impromptu nights at home/school, or varying pick-up/drop-off times are never a problem.

Our girls are given every opportunity
Everyone gets to thrive with the same opportunities. That means that our day girls get to enjoy the same extracurricular and social activities as full-boarders.
Empowering with independence
Our girls feel empowered by our Bespoke Boarding. It’s a taste of independence in a safe and nurturing environment.
Family time to be cherished
Our flexibility benefits everyone. Our girls have more opportunity to get involved in activities, and parents get all the support they need, meaning that time at home is quality time. It doesn’t end at the weekend Friday nights are big at Queen Margaret’s. It’s a time to have fun and build friendships that can last a lifetime. Weekend activities can mean anything from a trip to the trampoline park to visits to museums and stately homes.
A sisterhood of support
Our horizontal boarding approach means that everyone learns and boards together in one supportive year group – full- boarders, flexi-boarders and day girls. It’s what makes our girls’ experience so special, helping them to bond, form lifelong friendships and thrive. It also allows housestaff to focus on the specific needs of each year group, so they can be managed more effectively.
