Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful summer break and that you have had the opportunity to relax, recharge and spend quality time with family and friends.
On behalf of everyone at St Margaret's Academy, I would like to extend a very warm welcome back to all of our children and families as we begin another exciting academic year together.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming pupils back to school on Monday 7th September. Please remember that Thursday 3rd September and Friday 4th September are Staff Training Days, and the school will be closed to pupils on these dates.
A particularly warm welcome goes to all of our new children and families joining St Margaret's Academy this year. Starting at a new school is an exciting milestone, and we are delighted that you have chosen to become part of our school community. We look forward to getting to know you and supporting your children as they settle into school life and begin their journey with us.
At St Margaret's Academy, we are proud of our caring and inclusive community, where every child is encouraged to flourish academically, socially and personally. We are excited to begin a new year filled with learning, opportunity and success, and we look forward to working in partnership with you to help every child reach their full potential.

🌞🎉 A Massive Thank You to Our Fantastic PTA! 🎉🌞
What a wonderful day we had at the St Margaret's Academy Summer Fayre!
The fair was absolutely jam-packed with families, friends and members of our community, all coming together to enjoy a truly fantastic event. With the sun shining, there was plenty of fun, laughter and smiles throughout the day, creating a wonderful atmosphere for everyone who attended.
Events like this do not happen by magic, and an enormous amount of planning, organisation and hard work went on behind the scenes to make the day such a success. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing PTA, whose dedication and commitment made the event possible.
A huge thank you also goes to all of our volunteers, parents, Year 6 pupils and staff who gave up their time to help set up, run stalls, support activities and stay behind to tidy up. Your support is greatly appreciated and helped make the day such a memorable occasion.
Finally, thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy the fair and support our school community. Your generosity and enthusiasm made the day extra special.
We can't wait to share the grand total raised with you soon!
Thank you all for your incredible support. Take care and enjoy the rest of the summer! ☀️💙
