Alumni Q&A: The Blackburne’s 2000-2011

Mrs Blackburne is our SENco and Year 6 Form tutor, but before she joined the teaching team here at St. Margaret’s, she was a parent. Both her children, Imogen and Oscar, attended St. Margaret’s and have gone on to study Masters degrees. We’re delighted to hear about their successes and enjoy seeing them when they come back to visit.
