The school's Early Morning Library Club welcomes parents, carers and children every Friday to enjoy books and hear a reading from a member of staff or a school ambassador.
According to a spokesperson from the school, this week saw "a man in a red suit with a white beard and a jolly laugh" arrive.
The spokesperson continued: "The whole event brought fun and laughter to the library and reminded children that even someone as busy and famous as Santa, knows the importance of reading."
Margaret Wix's head teacher, Claire Gibbs, added: "We open our library doors every Friday before school, to welcome our whole community.
"It was especially lovely to welcome Father Christmas this week who came all the way to our little library on a cold, Friday morning.
"It was so great to see so many faces and hear a special Christmas story from Santa. Thank you Father Christmas and all who attended."
