Welcome

Welcome to our school website. All staff in our school work to a shared vision for all our young people: Care, Challenge & Celebrate with Christ.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to release the maximum potential in every member of our school community, developing a safe, caring and Christian environment, where high expectation is the norm.

Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to St Margaret's Church School's website

St Margaret's School was created by the amalgamation of two schools; a voluntary controlled infant school and an aided junior school.  The aided school was expanded to take over the infant school, now united in one largely new purpose built school building.  This was completed in September 2012.  We are proud of our Christian foundation and strong links with our local church, St Margaret's and All Hallows.  Our happy school is made up of 487 children and around 50 hard-working members of staff.

We have an experienced Governing Body who are very supportive of school and a busy Friends' Association who raise funds for 'special extras' for the children.

The school runs a minatined Nursery on site and a daily breakfast club for KS2 pupils.  It works in collaboration with a 2+ Nursery on the SMILE site for wrap around care and breakfast club for younger children. We offer various after school activities.

I hope you find the information on this website useful whether you are a current parent looking for information or new parent looking for the right school for your child.  The prospectus will give you a 'snapshot' of school life here at St Margaret's Church School as well as other helpful information.  This is under the documents section.

The weekly newsletter, which can be emailed to you by joining our mailing list, is a good way to keep up to date with events in school and to find out what is coming up!  The curriculum leaflets in the Document ->  gives information on what each class is learning and tips for helping at home.

Thank you for surfing to our website!  Please do not hesitate to contact school if you require any further information.

Prefects & Student Council News

The school encourages children to take responsibility for learning and some events.  We have developed our pupils to have a voice in school through our Pupil/School Council, our prefect system and our head boy and head girl.

Our Pupil Council has been appointed for 2012/13. You can see who has been elected from our Pupil Council notice board. They hold three meetings per half-term. At these meetings they decide:

  • which charities the school will support during the year
  • what actions they would like to see happen as a result of the Pupil Surveys on behaviour, learning, safety
  • evaluate which enterprise projects are funded for Enterprise Week
  • collect the views of children about the school

Future developments will include:
