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.

Today, Lady Margaret School is a Church of England academy in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

The latter was founded by the Church of England's National Society as a teacher training college for women.

The college was named after its first home, a Georgian building, Whitelands House, on King's Road in Chelsea, London.

Records in The National Archives suggest that Enid Moberly Bell was its founding headmistress.

[5] The school was named after the Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, founder of St John's and Christ's Colleges, Cambridge, and a benefactress of education.

In April 1951 its relationship to the Church of England was regularised when it became a voluntary aided school.
