St. Margaret's is an exceptional private nursery and day school - set in acres of listed parkland in the North Essex village of Gosfield. We welcome girls and boys aged two to 11. Our private nursery and preparatory school is nestled in an idyllic rural location near the market town of Halstead, close to the A120 and with access into Colchester, Chelmsford and Suffolk.
We offer specialist teaching across the curriculum, combined with a home-from-home family feel, to give your child the very best start. Our specially designed nursery is at the heart of our school, providing space to learn through play, build friendships and explore the world on their doorstep. Nursery (ages 2 to 4 years) and Reception (4 & 5 years) children also enjoy their own play and discovery outdoor area.

Academic Quality and Results
Report
St. Margaret's Prep School provides your child with the best possible start to their educational journey. St. Margaret's has an outstanding record of academic achievement and though we are a non-selective school, expectations of what pupils can achieve here are high. We focus on traditional educational values, skills and the written word with technology used to enhance rather than replace the curriculum.
