St. Margaret’s Nursery & Prep School

St. Margaret’s Prep School is set in the North Essex village of Gosfield, near the market town of Halstead, and is a co-educational independent primary and nursery school for children from age two to 11.

The school is nestled in an idyllic rural location surrounded by woods and listed parkland, yet we are conveniently close to the A120 with major roads links to Colchester, Chelmsford and Suffolk.

Established since 1946, we are a modern school with traditional values. We provide a firm foundation for learning, preparing your child for entrance to leading independent senior schools, selective grammar schools and good state schools.

But what makes St. Margaret’s so different, so special, is the nurturing heart at our core. We are a family, with the kind of warm and caring approach your child has at home. Happy children love to learn and they love coming to our school!
