Summer 2015 Edition
What an Amazing Year!
The academic year 2014/15 began in a flurry of excitement as the construction of our new floodlight astroturf was reaching completion. As part of our vision for St Margaret’s, working in partnership with St Mary’s, this was a critical first step towards helping us realise our ambitious
development programme for the school. Children have already benefitted enormously from this wonderful addition throughout the course of the year and what a joy it was on Sports Day to see pupils of all ages competing in a range of activities on our all weather surface.
As the year draws to a close, we conclude almost as we began, with builders on site working towards the completion of the next phase in our bold schedule. When the children return to school in September they will benefit from new changing facilities for both boys and girls. Further, our soundproof Drum Studio will enable our drummers to play with great enthusiasm, whilst allowing the rest of the school to work undisturbed! This exciting addition will also facilitate our new Rock School programme. Whilst teaching and learning remains at the heart of all we do at St Margaret’s, having outstanding purpose-built facilities is the added bonus that enables the children to benefit from the best possible experiences in all aspects of their education!
Welcome to the Summer 2015 Edition of The Echo As the academic year 2014/15 draws to a close we take the time to celebrate all that has been achieved during the past twelve months. The successes for the children have been many, both individually and collectively and I know that everyone will have their own particular highlight. This time of year is always tinged with sadness and excitement in equal measure; looking forward to what the future holds and saying goodbye in many different capacities. I send good wishes to all of our leavers, both children and staff and hope that, whatever the future holds, St Margaret’s will always have a special place in their hearts.
‘People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.’ I hope you enjoy reading this edition of The Echo and I send you and your families good wishes for a restful summer – I look forward to welcoming you back to school for the start of the new academic year in September.
