Small Independent School of the Year
Students at Queen Margaret’s School for Girls (QM) never get lost in the crowd. Nestled in beautiful Yorkshire parkland just a few minutes from York, QM is a happy place of learning and belonging, for girls aged 11-18.
Day and Bespoke Boarding places are available. As a small school, QM can accommodate the specific needs and preferences of your family. From one to seven nights a week, with a set routine or something more flexible, whatever works for you, works for QM. Day students can arrive as early as 07:30 and stay until 19:30 and enjoy all their meals at no extra cost.
Open Days in 2024
QM Open Days run a little differently to most schools. You’ll be given a personal appointment with Head, Sue Baillie, and you’ll see the school in action when you have your own tour of the school with current students. The school prides itself on a personal approach from your very first enquiry.
Book your visit HERE
