From the St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School
With 103 students now enrolled, St. Margaret Clitherow is a modest Catholic primary school located in the centre of Brixham. Our school draws students from Brixham, Paignton, and the South Hams, and has a large catchment area. 'Butterflies,' a privately organised playgroup that serves preschoolers, is fortunately located on our property. These kids frequently participate in school activities, and many of them later enrol in our Reception class. Additionally, we have a thriving Parents and Toddlers club that meets once a week in the school hall. This is a great approach to acclimatise young children to the school setting and is run by one of our Teaching Assistants.
