Marshbrook has many strengths,.  This is a school with many good features.  The majority of pupil's reach high standards in English and Mathematics by the time they leave the school.  The school has developed a good climate for learning, pupils' attitudes to their work are very good and there are very good relationships in the school.  It is very well led and managed by the headteacher who has set a good educational direction.  The school gives good value for money.  We are a "listening school" where we appreciate that parents are the children's first educators and, therefore, we seek to build a strong partnership between home and school throughout your child's time here. 

In addition, we have excellent facilities and enjoy support from the community at large.  All these  factors enable us to provide high standards of education and behaviour, and we continue to strive for success academically and to develop personal qualities in all our children.

SCHOOL AIMS

The Governors and Staff of Marshbrook First School promote the following aims:

1.  Provide a high quality of education that stimulates and challenges children so that they can achieve their full potential in all areas of the Curriculum.

2.  Seek to promote social, moral, cultural, intellectual, physical and spiritual development of our children, which is sufficiently differentiated to meet the needs of all children.

3.  To create a positive learning environment where pupils are valued by others and are part of the extended family and are prepared for the opportunities and experiences of adult life.

4.  To provide a creative curriculum which involves investigation and experimentation enabling all children to develop enquiring minds and the ability to question and apply themselves with perseverance. 

5.  Inclusion will provide equality of opportunity regardless of disability, special educational need, ability, race, gender or religion and encourage respect and tolerance of others.

6.   To develop close links between home and school creating a partnership between parents and teachers and the wider community.

7.  To further a pupil's awareness of religious and moral values so enabling them to appreciate the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic diversity of our society.

8.  To develop positive attributes to learning particularly independence, confidence, co-operation and enthusiasm.  

OFSTED 2001 believe that:
