St Margaret's School
School summary
Founded in 1884, St Margaret's is a small girls' school in Camden with roughly 150 pupils on roll. Its intimate scale shows in a pupil-to-teacher ratio of about nine, well below what many larger schools manage, which allows for close attention to each girl. The school is non-selective in size but ambitious in outlook, and bursaries of up to 100% widen access well beyond those who could meet the day fees of £20,586 to £23,847 a year. It is inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Academic results stand out: 54% of GCSE grades fall in the 9-7 range, more than double the national average of 23%. Languages have a clear presence, with both French and Spanish taught and Spanish among the most popular GCSE choices, alongside Mathematics, History, Geography, Psychology and Drama & Theatre Studies. The school carries a notable proportion of pupils on SEN support, around 20%, and the small classes are well suited to giving that support meaningfully.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, academically strong girls' school where generous bursaries and tiny classes make serious results feel within reach for a wider range of families.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
