Queen Margaret's is a small school, set in 75 acres of breathtaking rural parkland and situated just six miles from York. We offer a flexible boarding structure with hours designed to fit busy family life.

Parents are welcome to drop their daughter off from 07:30 and miss the rush hour traffic or make that early meeting. If the day runs away then girls can be collected as late as 19:30 or they can simply stay over - our flexible hours and boarding structure are designed to fit in with ever-evolving, busy and modern lifestyles. We know all too well what it's like to juggle the many demands on your time. Take a look at the plan of the day here.

Weekends are a busy affair and can include anything from high energy trips to the trampoline park to more relaxed visits to museums and stately homes. Our girl-led Community Weekends are a highlight in the calendar - packed full of exhilarating activities and experiences, making for a thriving boarding community for all to enjoy.

QM is proud to be a Girls on Board School

We want to reduce any potential friendship issues by empowering girls with the skills to develop and maintain their own friendships. We encourage girls to settle their own disputes and be happy and confident in their own skin.
