Welcome

Welcome to Marlbrook Community Primary School!

September 2008 ........... Welcome back to the new school year, or for many of our Nursery and Reception children and families - welcome to Marlbrook.

As usual, may I begin by saying that we have always been and continue to be extremely proud of our school and our children, not just in terms of standards (which I'm pleased to say continue to be high), but also in terms of students behaviour, students achievements in and outside school and students attitude to our school community.

I hope you'll find the site both interesting and informative. We're trying to include details about school projects, photographs of events, pieces of work by children and newsletters, as well as lists of policies and holiday dates.

I have also been asked to say what our aims are at Marlbrook ...... well here goes :

1. We want all of our children to achieve their full potential by offering them a high quality, challenging, diverse curriculum.

2. We aim to foster a community that feels safe, secure, supported and valued - a community that encourages tolerance and respect, that celebrates success in its many different forms.

3. We aim to provide a huge range of experiences, not just during the school day, but before school, after school and through the school holidays.

4. Finally, we aim to involve the whole school community in shaping our future, empowering individuals to make choices and become better citizens.

You can find our Mission Statement and School Aims on the Newsletter page. We also have more than 70 policies that are updated on a rolling programme. I haven't included them on the website, but they include policies on : behaviour, anti-bullying, uniform, charges, all curriculum subjects, child protection, finance, parental involvement and health and safety. If you want to see any of them please ask - we can provide copies.

Finally, please keep sending us messages and asking questions about the website and the school .... everyone in Marlbrook is a learner, and we are always keen to develop and improve.

Thanks for joining us.
