Welcome to Marleigh Primary Academy at the heart of the growing Marleigh community. We hope that you will find all the information you are looking for within this website, but if not, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Marleigh Primary Academy and Nursery opened, for children aged 3 to 11, for the first time in September 2022.
The academy is a member of Anglian Learning which was formed in September 2016 of four successful secondary schools who were passionate about the difference that high quality education can make to all young people, their families and their communities.
We have grown to become a Trust of 15 academies, including Marleigh, who share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation. Our academies include 9 primary schools and 6 secondary schools (including two sixth forms).
We provide education for children and young people from nursery age through to Year 13 in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk. Anglian Learning has been part of Marleigh Primary Academys exciting journey since its inception.
