St Margaret’s Staff Visit the New school

Although The Cedars School is no more than a few days old, the building itself has quite a history, which I will explore in more detail in later blog posts. Dating from the late 18th Century, it used to be called Coombe House. By 1937 the house had become a convalescent home for army officers, before being converted into a school in 1945.

St Margaret’s was a specialist residential school for physically disabled children and was clearly a trailblazer in all sorts of ways. So we were delighted when the former headmaster, some teachers and a former student visited us last week.

It was particularly inspiring to hear about their care for individuals, their strong links with the children’s parents, and their determination to help their pupils flourish. The example of service they helped to establish is a tradition we are determined to maintain.
