St Margaret’s Church of England Academy & Nursery

As Headteacher, it is a privilege to lead St Margaret’s: a caring, welcoming and aspirational Church of England school where every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually—so that each one can grow in confidence, character and curiosity.

Rooted firmly in our Christian values, we foster a culture of kindness, respect and mutual support. Strong relationships are at the heart of our school community, and we work in close partnership with our families, governors and wider community to ensure high expectations for all. We believe every child has God‑given potential and deserves the very best opportunities to succeed.

The wellbeing and safeguarding of every child is our highest priority. We are passionate about providing a safe, happy and inclusive environment where children feel secure, listened to and inspired to take pride in their learning and their achievements.

As a member of the Vine Schools Trust, we benefit from shared expertise, collaboration and a collective commitment to excellent education grounded in Christian values, while remaining deeply rooted in our own school community and identity.

We are always pleased to welcome visitors to St Margaret’s. Our staff and children are proud of their school and are wonderful ambassadors, eager to show you what makes St Margaret’s such a special place to learn and grow.
