Specialist Language College Status

Following our successful 2007 Ofsted report and a place in the top 30% of high performing specialist schools, St. Margaret’s has been awarded a second specialism by the Government’s Department for Children, Schools and Families.

Identified by the DCSF as a high performing specialist school, St. Margaret’s successful Language department will be provided with extra resources to enrich the current curriculum and learning activities as well as to develop partnerships with other schools to share the school’s expertise.

Headmaster, Dr. David Dennison said, ‘Bringing these two specialisms together is both exciting and challenging.  As new technology brings people and their cultures closer together across the globe, studying languages becomes even more important in preparing students for living and working in the 21st Century.’

The School’s successful Modern Foreign Languages department will be provided with extra resources to enrich the current curriculum and learning activities.
