I am so proud to be the Headteacher at St. Margaret's where I hope your child will have many happy years with us. As an experienced Headteacher, I know that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you have to make and I never take for granted the important role we as educators play in your child's life.
As a one form entry school, we pride ourselves on the kind and compassionate family natured atmosphere of the school that we have created here at St Margaret's, which ensures that every child is 'nurtured and cherished', their unique gifts and talents are celebrated, and they leave us ready to thrive and excel at their preferred choice of Secondary school across the City and beyond.
Our inclusive approach, coupled with our modern, enriching and dynamic curriculum in a vast and vibrant environment that includes a brand new KS1 block are the foundations of our excellent education, and high academic achievements. We look forward to showing you us in action!
