I am looking for a book I read as a pre-teen in the early 80s, but I don't know the title!?

The book is about some girls who live in a boarding school. There is a girl named Victoria who has a black book of witchcraft that all the girls are fascinated by. I believe the other main character's name is Dilly? I would love to buy this book for my daughter, but I don't know that name or author. Does anyone know of this book??

I read a book in the early 80s about 2 girls at a boarding school. One was named Victoria. She had a special book of magic spells and always sat on a special hassock every night to read them to her roommates. I believe the other character's name is Dilly? Does anyone know about this book? I want the name and author if possible?

Could it be The runaway princess by Kate Combs?

Found some info about Malory Towers which other have suggested.

I agree with the answerer who suggested getting her more modern books of the type. Just because you enjoyed the book when you were younger, doesn't mean that there are not other suitable books for your daughter at present, there are some very good childrens authors currently writing.
Keep looking for the story you had, but it is very difficult to find a story, unless you have more details about it, and I suggest you would have more details if it was as good as you remember.
