Lady Margaret School is a smaller than average all-girls' Church of England secondary school in Parsons Green, Fulham, London. It was awarded specialist school status as a Mathematics & Computing College in September 2003, and became an academy in September 2012.
The school has approximately 719 girls aged between eleven and eighteen years, about 183 of whom are in the sixth form. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with more than 7 girls applying per place. The majority of girls stay on into the Sixth Form. A number of students from other schools are given places in the Sixth Form following its expansion with the opening of the purpose-built Olivier Centre in 2010.
The headteacher is Elisabeth Stevenson, following the retirement of Sally Whyte in July 2015.
Today Lady Margaret School is a successful Church of England academy in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In 2003 the school achieved specialist status in Mathematics and Computing. In 2007 the school was described by Ofsted as 'good with outstanding features' and by the Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools as 'outstanding'.
In 2010, the school opened a new building named the 'Olivier Centre', named after the former headteacher, Joan Olivier. The auditorium in there was named after Colin Busby, a former deputy head who also retired in 2006.
It was reviewed again in 2011, with Ofsted describing the school as 'outstanding'. Having been designated a 'high performing specialist school' following the successful Ofsted inspection, the school has was awarded a second specialism in Music.
In December 2012 the school was given the go ahead by Hammersmith & Fulham Council to expand to permanently admit four forms of entry in Year 7 following the success of two earlier 'bulge' years. From September 2014 the school admitted four forms (120 pupils) in Year 7.
In December 2016, the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) conducted an inspection to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of the school as a church school. The report judged the school to be ‘Outstanding’ in all categories.
