Spring 2013 Edition
Year 6 Enjoy Success Across the Board! During the first half of the spring term the primary focus for the pupils in Year 6 was upon their 11+ entrance examinations. Once again the children were prepared for a range of secondary schools and once again they enjoyed a 100% success rate. Academic achievement was recognised by the award of a number of Scholarships, as well as outstanding ability in sport, music and drama. However, more importantly and without exception, feedback from all the senior schools Kaja Abbeyfield School Harry Brighton College Dauntsey’s School Amber Dauntsey’s School Benedict Dauntsey’s School Charles Dauntsey’s School Guy Dauntsey’s School Hermione Dauntsey’s School Susannah Dauntsey’s School Thomas Dauntsey’s School Camilla Downe House Tala Hardenhuish School Henry Kingswood School

Welcome to the Spring Edition of The Echo At the time of writing I am looking out of my office window and it is snowing – not an opening line I have used before in my spring communication! Despite the relative shortness of this term, it has been remarkable in so many ways. The children and staff have worked extraordinarily hard in every aspect of school life and collectively their achievements have been many. Furthermore, the ongoing success of St Margaret’s has been acknowledged by the governors who have committed to the construction of a new school library.
Building work will commence in March and we anticipate approximately six months before completion of the project. Therefore, when we return to school in September for the start of the 2013/14 academic year, the whole community will benefit from our new multi-media learning facility. Perhaps by then it might even have stopped snowing... I hope you enjoy reading this edition of The Echo and send children, staff, parents and friends my good wishes for a peaceful Easter holiday.
