WELCOME TO QUEEN MARGARET ACADEMY<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Queen Margaret Academy. At Queen Margaret Academy we are an ambitious community of learning and faith where our young people are inspired, motivated and successful. We aim to offer a high quality education for all our young people in a distinctive Catholic context empowering them to maximise their talents and achieve.<\/p>\n

Our faith is celebrated regularly through Masses and events, largely conducted by our liturgical committee, led by Fr Willie Boyd and supported by the wider staff body and local parishioners.<\/p>\n

Fundamental to a school is a positive culture and ethos. Queen Margaret Academy have 6 values which we base our work:
\n\u2022 Community
\n\u2022 Ambition
\n\u2022 Responsibility
\n\u2022 Equity
\n\u2022 Faith
\n\u2022 Respect<\/p>\n

Throughout a young person\u2019s time at Queen Margaret Academy we aim to support them in partnership with home and local parishes to become resilient individuals who will add value to our school and our community.<\/p>\n

I look forward to working with you to support our young people in their journey through secondary<\/p>\n
