Crynodeb
St Margaret’s Prep is a co-educational day school for 180 pupils aged 2-11. Our pupils begin their journey in The Bluebird Nursery before progressing into the main school. In Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2), children learn in a single class and thereafter, two parallel classes at each year from Year 3 – Year 6. The school shares a 27-acre campus with St Mary’s, Calne.
The school broadly follows the Early Years Foundation Stage and the 2014 Primary National Curriculum in England; the children are assessed in line with national expectations and the Foundation Stage Profile, and take standardized tests from Y1-Y6, achieving well above the national averages. However, there is much more on offer. In addition to the academic side of life, there is a rich programme of Music, PE, Drama and Art. Class Teachers deliver a broad curriculum with ICT, Sport, Music, Art and MFL being taught by specialists. We want our pupils to achieve their potential in every aspect and play a full part in the life of the school. Above all, we want happy, independent and confident children!
The facilities offer first class opportunities to challenge and stimulate the children in their learning. Classes are housed in attractive purpose-built teaching rooms linked to the original Victorian building. There are specialist teaching rooms for Computing, Music, Languages and Art/Design & Technology, whilst The Southwell Hall offers a large space for assemblies, drama and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. In addition, we share several facilities with St Mary’s; a dining room, Chapel, Science laboratories, an indoor swimming pool, sports hall and a range of sports courts and playing fields. Our after-school club ‘Maggots’ provides wrap-around care from 7:30am until 8:15am and from 4:00pm until 6pm. Alongside this, we have the Maggots Holiday Club which is open during all school holidays bar Bank Holidays and the Christmas break which is accessible to the whole school community. The children enjoy the benefit of fresh air and exercise in an extensive environment which includes fields, playgrounds, swings and other play equipment.
Maintaining a happy, purposeful atmosphere is of paramount importance, as this will allow the pupils the best opportunity to develop into well-rounded, confident children. It is vital that the pupils and the staff at St Margaret’s feel that their lives here are enriched and rewarding.
