On Wednesday 28th June 2023, Cardinal Vincent Nichols visited Wembley for the 50th anniversary of St Margaret Clitheroe School.
He celebrated Mass at the school, along with Fr Albert Ofere, Parish Priest of English Martyrs Church, Wembley, to give thanks for 50 years of Catholic education in Wembley.
In the afternoon, the school enjoyed another celebration with parents and carers of the pupils in attendance.
The school was founded in 1973. There have been various additions and improvements since then, most notably a completely new building which was opened in 2020.
St Margaret Clitheroe is part of the All Saints Academy Trust. Its mission statement of ‘We live to love, learn, respect and follow Jesus who says “Love One Another as I have loved you”’ permeates all aspects of school life.
They add: ‘We value and respect all; growing and learning together as part of God’s family, to be the best we can be.’
Pictured with the Cardinal and Fr Albert is Headteacher Mrs Ilira Heath, along with a statue of the school's patron saint.
