From the Margaretting Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Our primary goal will always be to deliver the best education we are capable of in the most efficient manner possible, making sure to include the Christian ethos and the values we stand for into all we do. By doing this we will enable children to become enthusiastic, confident, happy individuals who aim to and achieve their full potential and take with them, into the wider community, a positive attitude and a desire to become life long learners. By encouraging freedom of speech and embracing our culture, we honour British principles. Within the constraints of the National Curriculum, every child is taught according to his or her individual degree of aptitude. Children who require more help learning are taught both in a classroom setting and in a secluded setting. To support students in the school who have exceptional educational requirements, support assistants are hired. A SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) is another employee that works two mornings per week. Along with parents and locals, the yearly Remembrance service was held at the War Memorial.
