St Margaret's

St Margaret's, or "St Mag's" as it is affectionally known, is the furthest junior house from the main College teaching campus. Although established a few years earlier, the building St Mag's occupies today was purpose-built in the mid-1920s. At the time, the new occupants remarked on the electric light as "one of our great delights".

Over the years, St Mag's has undergone a number of refurbishments, including new furnishings and most recently the renovation of sash windows throughout the building.

From the Houseparent

"I am excited to join CLC as Housemistress of St Margaret's, a fitting role given my Scottish roots. With a background in teaching History and Politics, my recent focus has been on pastoral care. My husband, Bill, is also a historian. I aim to build strong relationships with the girls and their families, promoting integrity and kindness. I believe in the benefits of boarding life and enjoy witnessing the academic, musical, and sporting successes of the girls. My goal is to ensure all the girls in my care feel known, valued, and happy, enabling them to make the most of their opportunities at CLC."
