Federation of Briar Hill and St Margaret's Schools Welcome to the Federation of Briar Hill Infant and Flourish as a Family, Love to Learn, Make Memories, Shine How good and pleasant it is, when God's people live together in unity! Psalm 133 St. Margaret's CE Junior School is a strong Christian community where all unite and flourish.
Our family is guided by God's teachings of love, courage, hope and service, enabling everyone to thrive as happy and fulfilled individuals. Ignited by God's Spirit, our children shine as a light in the world.

We are proud to remain very much at the heart of our community and continue to be a popular choice for parents.
