Our Catholic Life at SMC
At St Margaret Clitherow school we aim to celebrate, develop and enhance the Catholic Life and Mission of our children in many different ways.
Lent.
Our journey through Lent is not a solo trek, but a shared walk toward the light. As the days grow closer to Easter, may we find strength in our shared silence, grace in our shared sacrifices and a deeper connection to the path beneath our feet.
The Big Lent Walk 2026
The Big Lent Walk - Wednesday 18th March 2026
This Lent the children and staff are supporting CAFOD and joining other schools around the country to help fight poverty around the world.
Our fundraising will help people like Bayezid and his community in Bangladesh to create floating gardens that are immune to the effects of flooding caused by climate change.
We were not about to let a little rain hold us back! On Wednesday 18th March 2026, the entire school took part in a walk around Birchmere Park to raise money for CAFOD as part of the Big Lent Walk. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us!
It was truly uplifting to see so much encouragement and support for one another—just look at those smiling faces! The fantastic sense of teamwork and positivity shone through and made the day all the more special.

St Margaret Clitherow invites members of the local British Legion to afternoon tea.
On Friday, November 21st, we shared a wonderful and memorable experience with representatives of the Royal British Legion.
We were very privilege to have representatives from the British Legion visit our school.
Delegates from the school, comprising the head boy, head girl, and the Mini Vinnies group, were provided an opportunity to inquire about initiatives in regards to supporting serving and ex-serving men and women, veterans, and their families.
We concluded our time by visiting the Prayer Garden for a brief, silent period of reflection.
