Lady Margaret School is a Church of England academy for girls aged 11-18 situated on Parsons Green in West London. Established in September 1917, there are currently 780 girls on roll, of whom 182 are in the Sixth Form. It is an outstandingly successful school in welcoming girls of all academic abilities and ensuring that they achieve their full potential. Its success is based on a culture of high expectations and aspirations, excellent standards of teaching and a strong commitment to its Christian ethos.

At A Level, our results are consistently outstanding, with high numbers of girls progressing to a wide range of Higher Education courses. In 2025 70% of grades were A*-B. Students at LMS have an excellent record of securing places at top universities.
