St Margaret's CE Primary School

Year 6 are over half way through their residential and what an adventure they are having. We've done zip wire, a blind trail, rifle shooting, axe throwing, fencing and grass sledging already!! There have been lots of smiles and memories made so far.

Eid Mubarak to all our families who are celebrating today.

Year 3 had an action packed afternoon at the Personal Best Festival at Tudor Grange yesterday, taking part in a whole range of fitness and sporting challenges to beat their own personal bests. Well done for all your achievements!

Year 1 enjoyed a visit from the Birmingham Royal Ballet this afternoon who led a workshop for the whole class. They were complimented on their excellent participation, poise and enthusiasm!

Science Week 2026 got off to an exciting start today with our 'Understanding the World' drama workshops. Thank you to AS Creatives for a fun filled and thought provoking day thinking about our wonderful world and our responsibility for preserving it.

What a fun-filled World Book Day we had last week. Here's a selection of snaps from an action packed day including: the older children interviewing the younger children on their favourite books, our very own 'Starbooks' cafe complete with hot chocolate and creating our own wooden spoon book characters. Not to mention an abundance of amazing costumes!! 📚📖

Our wonderful Year 6 children are all trained as Active Play Heroes now and have been doing a superb job organising different games for our younger children at lunchtime. We are very proud of the leadership skills they are demonstrating.

What an amazing morning we had with Steel (Zack George) from BBC's Gladiators!

We had a whole school assembly where Steel spoke to all the children about fitness, healthy eating, hydration, confidence and having a positive mindset. Then he visited each classroom to answer questions and take pictures. What an unforgettable experience! Thank you to our wonderful PA for organising this for us.

Thank you for all your contributions to 'Wear it Red' day last month. We raised an amazing £174 for the West Midlands Air Ambulance charity.

💛This is Children's Mental Health Week 2026 💛
We have taken part in lots of different activities in school this week exploring the importance of emotional wellbeing, connection, and self‑care. Mental Health Week has given us all a chance to pause, reflect, and support one another. We are incredibly proud of the children for embracing these activities with such thoughtfulness and enthusiasm.

Let’s keep the conversation going so everyone feels seen, heard, and supported 💛

Today is Internet Safety Day. We have been exploring this year's theme 'Smart tech, safe choices - exploring responsible use of AI.' This has included a whole school assembly led by Mrs Russell, participating in the BBC Live Lesson and lots of discussion and activities in classes.

Nine of our fabulous Year Six children applied to take part in the training to become Peer Listeners. Their role will be to support other children at break and lunchtimes by providing a listening ear and helping to create a happy environment. Today they completed their training! They will deliver an assembly in the first week after half term to tell the rest of the school about their new roles.
