Information

Margaret Roper is a Roman Catholic, voluntary aided primary school for boys and girls aged 4-11.  The school is attached to the Parish of Purley which forms part of the large Archdiocese of Southwark. 

The School enjoys the active support of an energetic and enthusiastic parents’ Association. The P.T.A. arranges a variety of fund-raising and social events throughout the year, and the School would be unable to function as it does without this valuable input.

The dominating position and splendid grounds allow for outdoor apparatus and a large play-ground with climbing equipment and quiet area and an extensive games field adjoins the heated indoor swimming pool.

Surrounding grounds of the school become an extension of the classroom with a memorial garden, pavilion, well-stocked pond, wild garden and soft-surface play areas, as well as an outdoor classroom and all-weather Foundation stage play area.

Academic goals and activities are designed to develop numeracy and literacy skills and to promote understanding of the child’s world through scientific investigation, exploration and study. Aesthetic appreciation and self-expression are developed through art, music, dance and drama.
