Hello!

The staff team in Year 1/2 St Margaret Class are Mrs Young and Mr Marshall (Mondays).

We work closely with Year 1 St Cecilia and Year 2 St John to ensure the children have the best possible KS1 experience, rooted in key skills development, engaging and exciting learning and excellent relationships with staff and children alike.

On this page you will find a brief overview of our plans for the year, some general reminders and useful websites to support learning at home.

Our Class Saint

St Margaret Clitherow:

Margaret Clitherow was an English saint and martyr of the Roman Catholic Church, known as “the Pearl of York”. She was pressed to death for refusing to enter a plea to the charge of harbouring Catholic priests. She was canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI. She is known as the patron saint of businesswomen. Her feast day is 25th March.
