From the St Margaret's Catholic Voluntary Academy
While we are organised and focused in all we do, we also enjoy a good chuckle. a setting with Christian principles where kids can learn respect for others and themselves. Children who participate in school life thrive and take pride in their accomplishments. a partnership between young people, parents, teachers, administrators, and the community at large. We cherish the collaboration between the two schools and the role it plays in achieving this goal.
