SEND Information Reports & Policies

As a Catholic School we set ourselves the highest standards of effort and attainment.  We strive at all times to reflect the love of Jesus Christ by giving our children the best education possible in a caring environment.  We pride ourselves on our high academic achievements and results.  The school has an excellent reputation with parents and the wider community.  At St Margaret Mary’s, our ethos is clearly determined in our Mission Statement, Loving, Learning, Growing together with Jesus.  This applies to everyone at St Margaret Mary’s –children, staff, parents, visitors and governors.  We have a very professional and dedicated team of staff who give their time not only in the classroom but also in the many extra curricular activities that take place.  The department of Christian Education reported in 2010: 

“St Margaret Mary’s is an outstanding Catholic School. It is an inclusive community, underpinned by an exceptionally strong Catholic ethos.  This is a school where the well being of every child is of paramount importance to the dedicated and hard working staff.”

Through a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum we want the children to achieve the highest standards of which they are capable. We want to encourage the children to have high expectations in their learning.

We want the children to develop self respect and respect for others, and to know that their ideas are listened to and valued. We want them to learn to listen, discuss and respect the views and beliefs of others.
