Specialist teaching
Our team of specialist teachers enables pupils to develop subject depth and breadth usually not experienced until senior school. From Nursery onwards, pupils are taught French, computing, sport, music and art and design by specialist teachers with a deep passion and knowledge for their subject.
Facilities are excellent. Children have access to our 25-metre swimming pool, fully-equipped science labs, well-stocked library, all-year round astroturf and sports hall. There’s a fully-equipped computer suite, music rooms (including soundproof drum studio) and spacious art room.

Classroom teachers
Our classroom teachers build strong relationships with every child, understanding their strengths, needs, and passions. With care and insight, each of our teachers tailor learning to bring out the best in each pupil – nurturing confidence, curiosity, and achievement.
Our personal, kind and purposeful teaching helps children flourish, every single day as they learn to be Be Kind, Be Bold and Be You.
ACADEMIC LIFE
Outdoor education
Our Forest School and outdoor learning spaces offer children the freedom to explore, create and connect with nature. From an outdoor classroom and wildlife garden to a storytelling corner, bug houses and outdoor kitchen, every space invites investigation, experimentation and hands-on discovery.
For our youngest children, the bespoke Early Years’ Courtyard provides a safe and joyful environment at the heart of the school. Here, imagination blossoms through play, nurturing a lifelong love of the outdoors from the very start of their learning journey.

Learning support
Designed to ensure each child is empowered to achieve their very best, our dedicated Learning Support team works closely with class teachers to identify individual needs early with tailored intervention to build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. From short-term support with a specific skill or ongoing guidance in literacy, numeracy or study strategies, we create personalised programmes that celebrate strengths while addressing challenges with sensitivity and care.
Through small-group sessions, one-to-one teaching and in-class strategies that promote success for all learners, Learning Support at St Margaret’s is an integral part of our commitment to developing confident, capable and resilient young people.
