Along with all other schools and academies in Devon, we are consulting on an admission policy for 2026-27. The Local Authority is also consulting on its admission arrangements. You are invited to look at the proposals and have your say. Our proposed policy can be found on our Admissions page Admissions — Northam St George's & St Margaret's . Further information is here: www.devon.gov.uk/admissionarrangements

The formal consultation runs until 10th January 2025. Policies will be determined on 29th January 2025 and published in the same places by 15th March 2025

We believe in treating every child as an individual

Welcome to St Margaret’s C of E Junior School - a place where we strive to deliver an inspiring education to all our children, where we nurture our children’s wellbeing, and where we learn everyday, help each other and be happy. Our Junior school welcomes children in KS2, which are school Years 3 to 6.

Across the Federation, we work to ensure that the Christian values of , hope, forgiveness, compassion, wisdom, thankfulness, peace, trust and friendship are embedded across our Federation. With love underpinning all that we do: ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ John 3:16

We aim to provide a safe, purposeful, stimulating and aspirational learning environment, in which we respect all faiths, languages and cultures.

Behavioural principles: Be ready, be respectful, be safe.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all members of the school community to share in this commitment. Everyone at St Margaret’s C of E Junior School wants the school to be a happy, successful and safe place to learn.

Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same.

In our Christian environment it is important that an attitude of compassion, love and forgiveness is evident throughout the school. At St Margaret's C of E School learning about appropriate behaviour, including understanding right and wrong, is based on Christian teaching. Pupils and staff speak of conflict & disagreement being dealt with fairly and compassionately based on Christian principles of forgiveness and a fresh start.
