Where happy children make excellent progress
At St. Margaret's Prep, we put as much emphasis on the wellbeing of our pupils, as we do their academic achievement. We know children will not achieve their best academically unless they are happy; therefore we put significant effort into ensuring all our pupils are well cared for, emotionally, and academically.
This emotional happiness will allow pupils to be positively engaged and focused in lessons, as well as create enthusiasm around the pursuit of other opportunities St. Margaret's has to offer.
Our Learning and Support Approach
All children need additional support at different times, and this is an aspect of learning that is embraced at St Margaret’s. Class sizes are small and flexible grouping for maths and English ensure, week by week, that pupils receive the level of attention they need for that topic.
Any child who feels they would like further help with a concept is given 1:1 time in the afternoon with one of our excellent Teaching Assistants, to ensure the concept is secure for the next day. We are proud that our older children will confidently ask for this help, and they know this service is available for them, whether they would like to chat through number bonds to 100 or 3 step algebra problems.
