St Margaret's Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day preparatory school for boys and girls age 3-11, situated in the grounds of St Mary's School, Calne. The children share the excellent facilities of St Mary's including sports pitches, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, theatre, Chapel, and dining hall. The classes are small, with an optimum number of eighteen children in each group. Consequently, there are all the advantages of a large school, whilst retaining the caring atmosphere of a small one.
There is a high academic standard throughout the school and the children are taught to learn the value of hard work and how to accept discipline and responsibility. In addition to this, every aspect of a child's character is developed. The children are thoroughly prepared for Common Entrance and Senior School 11+ examinations and the school has an impressive record of success in gaining major scholarships to leading public schools, both in academic areas and in The Arts. In 2007 all candidates were once again successful in passing entrance examinations for their chosen senior schools and a total of seven scholarships were gained by St Margaret's pupils. Schools making these awards included: Dauntsey's, St Mary's Calne and Stonar.
St Margaret’s is inspected routinely by both Ofsted and the Independent Schools Inspectorate. In February 2007 the Inspectors concluded that: ‘High quality leadership and management ensure an outstanding quality of education, promote excellent personal development, care and welfare, and enable the school to meet its aims. This is a happy school and pupils are courteous, work very hard and thoroughly enjoy their work and play.'
St Margaret's prides itself on its high standard of pastoral care. Every effort is made to ensure that the children never feel lost or bewildered, and that they quickly find their feet and are given a sense of belonging.
There is a strong sporting tradition, and music and drama have high profiles.
Early registration is essential as places are reserved up to three years in advance and many classes are already full for 2008 and 2009.
