On behalf of everybody at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Junior School, we would like to extend to you a very warm welcome.
It is both a pleasure and a privilege to lead St Margaret Mary's Roman Catholic Junior School - a school where the Gospel Values are at the centre of all we do, thus ensuring that, on a daily basis, we live out our school mission of loving, learning and growing together with Jesus .
We endeavour for every school day at St Margaret Mary's to be something that our pupils look forward to, feeling safe and supported in our loving school community. Our pastoral system places the child at the centre and this team around child approach ensures that the social, emotional and educational needs of every child are fully met.
We pride ourselves in the positive relationships that we forge with our parents and local community as we believe that it is through these partnerships that our pupils will be supported to reach their true potential. Our efforts to support the community were recognised at the 2023 Educate Awards when we were the proud recipients of the Community Partnership Award .
