What the school offers its staff
St Margaret’s was founded in 1879, as a Higher Grade school, originally sited in Anfield. Following 1918 Education Act it was a Central School with a selective intake; until recently has been a partially-selective comprehensive (15% of places allocated through a test). In 1963 it relocated to Aigburth. The school was a Voluntary Aided C of E High School until Oct. 2012, when we ‘converted’ to become an Academy. After a decade as a Single Academy Trust, in Jan /Feb 2023 the Governors and Members of the Academy Trust voted to begin the process of joining All Saints Multi-Academy Trust.
Housed in modern buildings in a pleasant residential area of South Liverpool, the school has c1,000 on roll; only boys are admitted pre-16, whilst the Sixth Form is mixed. The school is consistently over-subscribed and enjoys a strong reputation around the city and beyond.
Academic standards at the school are high, with the proportion of pupils achieving good GCSE results consistently above the national average for all pupils. Post-16 standards are similarly positive. At both pre- and post-16, many learners make strong progress in relation to their starting-points; whilst our P8 scores lack consistency, our post-16 equivalent is generally encouraging. Overall standards of behaviour are excellent; parental support is strong. St Margaret’s deep Christian ethos is a distinctive feature of it's provision; the school was recognised as being an ‘outstanding C of E school’ in its July 2017 denominational inspection. In May 2015 Ofsted judged all aspects of provision to be ‘good’; but in November 2021 Ofsted judged that we ‘require improvement’. Robust plans are in place to secure ‘Good’ next time.
Staff turnover is low, the current Principal having been appointed (externally) in 2013. He is strongly committed to the CPD of all staff so standards are maintained.
