A Place to Lead, Inspire and Flourish
St Margaret’s is a proud and historic school, named after the patron saint of Ifield parish church and serving the Crawley community since 1955. Today, it is a vibrant, ambitious, and inclusive school that welcomes children from across Crawley and the wider areas of Surrey and Sussex.
Set within exceptional grounds featuring a pond, Forest School areas, and extensive playing fields, St Margaret’s provides a safe, happy and stimulating environment where children and adults share a genuine love of learning. Outdoor learning is woven through the curriculum, making full use of the school’s beautiful and spacious setting.
Over recent years the school has benefited from significant investment, including a new staffroom, a well-established Special Support Centre (SSC) for pupils with physical disabilities, and a permanent nursery building. Both the nursery and the SSC are supported by experienced and dedicated leadership teams.
As a Church of England school within DCAT, St Margaret’s is rooted in Christian values that shape every aspect of school life. Our ethos underpins our culture of kindness, community, aspiration and service, and is reflected in the strong relationships we hold with families, the parish and the wider community.
The governing body is active, skilled and deeply committed to the school’s success. Governors work closely with leaders, providing both support and strategic challenge to drive continual improvement. They bring a blend of community insight, professional expertise, realism and optimism—creating the perfect foundation for the next chapter of the school’s journey.
