Welcome to our school website
I have great pleasure in welcoming you all to our new website. Saint Margaret Clitherows is first and foremost a family school, very proud of its strong Catholic ethos, standards and pastoral care, nurturing our young people as they continue on their faith journeys. Please feel free to browse around our website and see how your wonderful children and staff share their talents.
In our school we firmly believe that "Jesus is at the heart of everything we do".
"Everybody is somebody at Saint Margaret Clitherows"
Mrs N Jamalizadeh - Acting Head Teacher.
What is life like in our school?
At St. Margaret Clitherow's School, we pride ourselves on being friendly and open to all. We love the boys and girls entrusted to us and take great pride in nuturing their academic, social and personal skills. Our teachers teach engaging and interesting lessons through a wide range of varied topics.
Through our topic work we have learnt about history, with the Romans and World War 2 being particular favourites. We have learnt about geography through current and world affairs such as the World Cup or the Olympics. We have even learnt science through exploding coke and water bottles!
We celebrate achievements in school through rewards and prizes given throughout the school year:
-
Our house system puts each child into a house and they earn house points through excellent work and effort.
-
Golden Tickets are given to reward children who show the right attitude in school.
-
Our Head Teacher's award is given weekly by the Head Teacher to children who have stood out for any reason!
-
We celebrate our best writers with their being being given pride of place on the notice board on the playground for all to see!
-
Finally, our SMC (sensible, mature, caring) award is given termly to those with the best attitudes in school.
Our children like to keep fit and we encourage all children to take part in many different sports clubs. We offer a comprehensive sporting curriculum and we take part in local sports partnership events. We are particularly proud of our efforts in Football, Hockey, Netball and X-Country where we have traditionally done very well! We ask that all our children attempt and try their best to enjoy exercise, games and fitness - winning is not always important, having fun and being sporting is!
Being at S.M.C (our given nickname) and being part of our school family is a special place to be. Please have a look around our website and find out more for yourself!
If you have any concerns about the welfare of any children you can always come in to speak to any of our staff.
