For Diana Wynne Jones, one of my favourites is Witch Week, which is technically part of the Chrestomanci series but it stands alone fairly well. It's a story about children at a boarding school in a world where witchcraft is illegal. The story focuses mainly on the misfit/odd/outcast kids, who (of course) discover their ability to do magic, but need to keep it secret.
