With God, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 We are absolutely delighted to announce that Margaretting School are ranked as the NUMBER One school in Essex for Key Stage 2 results in both Reading and Maths, and in the top 50 schools in the UK for Reading, in the latest government league tables. This builds on a decade of fantastic achievements at the school.
Well done to the children and staff for this fantastic achievement! Our school is a small rural primary school and this allows us to know every child and family very well. We believe these close relationships help us to support all the children to succeed and have enriching life experiences at every stage of their education.
We are a church school with a Christian distinctiveness: our core values being at the centre of our curriculum and our school community. Heartfelt Compassion, Courageous Optimism and Boundless Creativity are discussed in class and at every collective worship. We also encourage the children to live these values each and every day.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
