We want to wish you all a very warm welcome to St Margaret's Church of England Primary School.

As we look forward to getting to know our new families joining our school community, and as we begin our transition activities for this year. We will use this page as a hub to hold all of the information that you need as you prepare for September and your children starting school. Some of you will already have children in our school and so will be familiar with some of the information about the school, but for some of you this will be the beginning of your journey at St Margaret's. We hope that, whichever the case, you will find this page informative and helpful.

Please rest assured that we have a robust transition in place.
