Working Collaboratively towards Multi-Academy Trust

Our school has been working for a number of years within a group of nine schools supporting school improvement. To preserve the quality of education and opportunity for our pupils and staff, we are looking to develop a new multi-academy trust together. Over the coming weeks we will be sharing our plans with our communities, including gaining your views and how you can contribute to our school’s future. Please return to this website in the coming months to find out more about how this project is developing.

New Optional Tartan Skirt

We are launching a new addition to our school uniform. This will mark our heritage as a school named after St Margaret of Scotland and be a feature of of our one hundredth school centenary as a Church School founded by the Deed in 1826. The wearing of our tartan skirt is optional. Black and grey skirts (and trousers) will still be part of our uniform, though we will be phasing out the grey skirts (and trousers) at the end of the next academic year.

The tartan skirts can be purchased only from the uniform shop in Warrington Town Centre at a cost of £12.99. Alphaschoolwear.com; 50-54 Buttermarket Street, Warrington, WA1 2NN; 01925 576868. Please note the school office does not stock this item.

Section 48 - Church School Inspection

The National Church of England inspected our school on Wednesday 6 March and we are very delighted to have received our inspection report following our Section 48 SIAMS inspection. To some extent it mirrored the experience of our OFSTED inspection in March 2023 in which HMI summed up our pupils’ experience as ‘pupils love learning and achieve well’ and gave us only one area for improvement. OFSTED Report 03/23: https://shorturl.at/opGL3

The Section 48 inspection report celebrates this tremendous church school; its staff, its pupils and its governors. The inspector/s describe ‘Relationships are extremely strong’, ‘Pupils know they are unique, loved and nurtured and that the adults in school will listen to them and help’, and ‘Loving relationships within school are valued by parents’. A copy of the report is available here: SIAMS Report 06/24: https://shorturl.at/zGRS2

School outcomes continue to get better and better

The DFE have published the progress scores for 2023 data.

As you can see our children's progress is Above average for reading and Well above Average (the top band) for writing and maths meaning they go on to high school very well-prepared for the next stage of their education.

The Growing Faith Adventure

We are enthused and delighted to take on the challenge of working with a range of partners including our school Parish Church of St Margaret's and All Hallows and SMILE Collective to spread the Good News.

We are beginning our journey of this new initiative with the national education office and our Liverpool Diocese as we look to work even more closely with our churches and our families.

'Growing Faith is actively encouraging ventures and activities which will help normalise conversations about Christian faith, leading opportunities for developing prayer and gathering for worship.'

If you would like to join us as a volunteer in this project or would like to know more please contact our recently appointed Growing Faith C-ordinator, Mrs Sue Kirby.

Whole School Enterprise Week - led by Year 6

Our children have chosen to support Derian House as our charity this year.

One of our past pupils benefited so much from the support that the house provided to him. We present an award every year in his memory and it is fiting for us to give back to such an important North West charity.

See newsletter for more details as to how it works and what you can do.
