St. Margaret’s Primary School is a Church of England Controlled School, situated in a very pleasant environment on the western edge of Durham City. Children are happy to come to school and are well cared for in safe and secure surroundings. The school has a long history dating back to 1861.  The current buildings were opened in the mid 1970s.

We have high expectations in both academic work and behaviour and every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.  In addition to the National Curriculum we provide many other Extra Curriculum experiences and opportunities for the children in order to ensure that they receive a broad and balanced education.

Making a major decision about your child's education can be a daunting experience. To help make that decision easier for you as a parent we have collated all the relevant information in our School Brochure.

Parents who already have children at our school can also find lots of useful information in the Parent Info area of our website.
