General information

Background: Alderman William Preston, one time Mayor of Liverpool, and the Vicar of St Margaret?s, Anfield founded St Margaret?s Church of England High School. The parish dignitary and M.P for West Toxteth, Mr.T.B Royden opened the school in 1879. The school began as a Higher Grade School and after the 1918 Education Act, St Margaret's was recognised as a Central School with a selective intake based on a competitive examination. In 1963 the school moved from Anfield to Aigburth and in 1980 enlarged to a four-form entry comprehensive school catering for students from 11-18 years of age. St Margaret's is a Voluntary Aided, Church of England High School and was awarded the prestigious Technology College status in 1997. The school increased its intake to five-form entry in September 1998. Physical Education curriculum involves a number of different activities: swimming, gymnastics, athletics, football, rugby, cricket, hockey, health-related fitness, volleyball, baseball and basketball. The school includes a gym, hall, playing fields and an artificial cricket wicket. The school aims to provide a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where all may grow towards a sense of fulfilment.
