At St. Margaret's, we are firm believers that learning happens beyond the classroom, and we offer varied and valuable opportunities for our pupils to enjoy, allowing each individual to discover new talents and interests.
The curriculum is enriched with a comprehensive programme that offers a regular schedule of wide-ranging clubs from golf to fencing and Lego to coding.

TRIPS
Trips and visits help reinforce children's learning experiences and we believe that they should be a part of every child's education. Trips provide first-hand memories that stay with them for much longer than reading about it in a book or doing research online.
To enhance our pupils' education, the teachers at St. Margaret's organise termly day trips. We provide a wide range of excursions across the school, to enhance their classroom learning. They may visit Cressing Temple Barns, Colchester Castle, Colne Valley Railway to bring history to the present, or to discover species studied in science lessons up close on trips to Daws Hall and Hatfield Forest.
From Year 3 pupils attend residential trips that promote character development and academic enrichment.
St. Margaret's school trips are a crucial component of our curriculum and educational philosophy to expand learning outside of the classroom and help pupils acquire important life skills.
