Sixth Form Introduction

Achievement by Faith and Work

“To be part of the Church’s service to the Diocese of Liverpool, in the task of education, by working in partnership with parents and the wider community to create a stimulating environment. To this end, Governors, Staff and Students feel involved as individuals and can develop their intellectual, moral, social, aesthetic and spiritual potential to the full in the light of the Christian Gospel.”

It is intended that education at St.Margaret’s should be both life-lasting and life-enhancing.Our mission statement focuses on the work and the life of the school which takes place in an orderly atmosphere where self-discipline, mutual respect and the welfare of each individual is greatly valued. Importance is given to regular worship, religious education in the classroom and on the general presentation of Christianity in the school family. The school presents the teaching of Our Lord but recognises that commitment is a matter which must be left to each individual.

We regard the school as an extension of the family. We want everyone to enjoy their time with us, to be proud of their school and to uphold the principles that underpin a Christian School.

School Aims and Vision

• To promote Christian values and service in order that all may discover their own individual value and self-worth and to encourage them to respect the rights and beliefs of others;
• To enable everyone to maximise their intellectual achievement and develop their talents in a wide range of educational skills according to each person´s abilities;
• To develop lively, enquiring minds with a sense of excitement and curiosity about the world, which will encourage the search for truth and equip all for lifelong learning;
• To provide a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where all may grow towards a sense of fulfilment;
• To promote physical development and health education and to recognise the benefits of physical endeavour;
• to help students find a true vocation in life; to take their place in an increasingly technological work environment; to prepare them for life in the community beyond school and the part they, as individual Christians, can come to play in society;
• to generate an enthusiasm for the protection of the environment on a local, national and international level;
• To enhance the concept of partnership between students, parents, teachers and the broader community, including the church, charitable organisations, primary and tertiary educational institutions, employers, industry and commerce.

St Margaret’s works very effectively with other schools within the ‘Faiths Collaborative’ to ensure students can pursue their interests and achieve their goals, particularly in the Sixth Form.
