On behalf of all the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Marlborough Primary School and our web pages. At Marlborough Primary we aim to make our school a safe, caring and child-centered place for your children to flourish and to do the very best that they can. This is underpinned by our shared motto: 'Bright minds, Bright Futures'.
Our children are well-behaved and excited to learn and we expect high standards from everyone within the school. We provide our pupils with excellent pastoral support and ensure that the children are well supported to learn. We have a philosophy of teamwork and a clear vision for continued success.
As a team, we are determined to improve outcomes for our children from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds and to ensure that we deliver equality for all. We encourage parents and adults to support us with ensuring that children have excellent school attendance as we know that this will support them to develop and ensure that they have a "bright future".
