Introducing Prep VI at QM

QM is perfectly positioned to empower girls and give them the self-belief they need to thrive. Our girls-only approach creates the optimum conditions for nurturing, challenging and inspiring girls in a safe environment. Our size enables many more opportunities for interaction in the classroom, and corresponding levels of encouragement from teachers. We are therefore delighted to bring a QM education to even more girls from September 2025 as we introduce Prep VI; the ideal stepping stone to our senior school. Read our news article here.
