Welcome from our Principal

Welcome

Whether you are a pupil, parent, member of staff, former pupil or simply a passing surfer, thank you for visiting our website: you are very welcome here.

As the father of two boys myself, I know how important it is to choose the right school for my sons; and as a committed Christian, I would want them to be educated in a secondary school which explicitly shares the Gospel values that have shaped my life so profoundly over the years.

I am delighted, therefore, to be able to introduce you to such a school: St Margaret's Church of England Academy. As Principal here, I take a great pride in seeing so many boys (and girls in the Sixth Form) grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Gospel values we hold dear – and in doing so, grow in maturity, confidence and selflessness during their time at St Margaret's.

And I am also proud to see so many St Margaret's pupils make real progress in their learning.

Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our teachers, and support staff, our school has a strong academic record, and we celebrate every pupil's achievement – whether that is in sweeping the board with 9 or A* grades, or in achieving other grades that show great progress in their learning from where they were when they joined us.

As a well-respected and successful school with a proven record of high academic standards taught in a caring, Christian atmosphere, we welcome your interest in St Margaret's. I hope this prospectus gives you a good insight into what we have to offer, but if we are able to be of assistance in any other way, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I hope our website will give you an insight into what makes our school so special. If you’d like to find out more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us: we would be delighted to help.
