St Margaret's CofE Primary School

St Margaret's Church of England Primary School, located in Crawley, West Sussex, is a voluntary aided primary school that caters to a mixed-gender population of 423 pupils, slightly above its capacity of 420. The school welcomes children from various backgrounds and faiths, with a particular emphasis on inclusivity. St Margaret's does not have a traditional catchment area, allowing families from the wider community to apply for places, particularly in the Reception class, which admits 60 children each year.

The school has recently transitioned its Modern Foreign Language curriculum from Spanish to French, reflecting its commitment to providing a well-rounded education. St Margaret's prioritises a supportive learning environment, offering a comprehensive induction program for new students and encouraging parental involvement through visits and meetings with the Headteacher.

For parents interested in enrolling their children, applications for Reception Class 2026 must be submitted online to West Sussex County Council by January 15, 2026. The school promotes full-time attendance from the start of the academic year in which a child turns five, while also providing options for part-time attendance initially.
