Welcome to the Senior School

St Margaret’s is able to ensure an easy transition and progression from the junior department to senior department. However, new girls entering at the first year of the senior department find that the process for them is also smooth. This is facilitated by an induction day during the third term of 7 Junior: new entrants meet with girls already in the school and establish friendships so that they already feel part of the whole school community by the time they begin their secondary school career.

The academic programme followed in I and II Senior provides continuity from the junior department and gives the girls a firm basis on which to build further study for SQA examinations.

From III Senior through to sixth year, girls select from a wide range of subjects based upon their interests and intended career plans. Our seniors are encouraged to work hard whilst enjoying everything else that life has to offer at St Margaret’s. There are many and varied extra-curricular activities, social events and trips both at home and abroad.

At St Margaret’s we are proud of our outstanding academic achievements; but we are equally proud of our reputation for producing socially aware, independent and confident young women.
