St Margaret's Church of England Academy is a secondary school for boys (with a mixed sixth form) in Aigburth, Liverpool, England. It is popularly known as St Margaret's, Aigburth, frequently shortened to "SMA" or "Essemmay". Essemmay is also the name of the former students' association. The "SMA" tag applied equally well for the school's original home in Anfield, Liverpool.
The school accepts 160 boys per year, and girls are accepted in years 12 and 13. St Margaret's Sixth Form is part of the Faiths Partnership with fellow member schools St Hilda's Church of England High School, Archbishop Blanch School and Bellerive FCJ Catholic College. Together, the schools offer Sixth Form students an extensive range of courses.
The school is on Aigburth Road (A561) just north of Aigburth railway station in Aigburth, just east of Otterspool. It is next to the Church of St Anne, Aigburth (C of E) which is the local parish covering the school. JMU have their I M Marsh Campus nearby to the east and Liverpool Community College had their Riversdale Centre (a former nautical college) to the south, before it was turned into 93 houses and 148 flats.
The school was founded by Alderman William Preston, one time Mayor of Liverpool, and the Vicar of St. Margaret's, Anfield, Reverend John Sheepshanks. The school opened in 1879 by the parish dignitary and MP for West Toxteth, Mr TB Royden. The school's first Headmaster was Mr E Crossley and an early teacher and benefactor was Mrs Gertrude Langton.
