Queen Margaret’s School for Girls, York: One of Yorkshire's top private schools to open prep provision for Year 6 pupils
Queen Margaret’s School for Girls, in York, currently only accepts students from Years 7 to 13 but that is set to change from later this year.
Girls aged 10 and 11 will be able to attend the historic school from September as day students, where they will have access to all the facilities at the school including the theatre, art studios, sports pitches and the on-site riding school.

The school currently runs a shuttle bus service from York city centre and Pocklington to its school grounds in Escrick Park.
The students will follow a core curriculum including England, maths, science, humanities, sports, Spanish, drama, music, art, dance, ICT and PSHE.

Head of Queen Margaret’s, Nicola Dudley, said “QM is a very special place, we really are like a family here, and we have everything in place for the newest, youngest members of the QM community to feel at home in their new school when they join us in September.

“When our girls leave us at the end of Sixth Form they consistently say how transformative their time at QM has been. To enable a wider age-range of girls to benefit from the unique experience of a QM education is something we’re incredibly excited about.”
