Marlborough Junior School

[EduCativ]

At Marlborough Junior School we believe that the primary phase of education is the most important in a child's learning journey. It is a time when we aim to nurture in all our children a lifelong love of learning.
Everyone at Marlborough Junior School is committed to providing a caring and friendly school, a happy place to learn because happy children make engaged learners who will become equipped with the skills to achieve their very best. We encourage children to think for themselves, placing emphasis on problem-solving, decision making, and becoming independent learners.
Children's enthusiasm for learning is fostered, as is their pride in their achievements and pride in the school community. Individual efforts are valued and celebrated in an atmosphere that encourages self and mutual respect.
Confidence in a school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. We hope you will take advantage of the opportunities throughout the year to visit the school on occasions such as class assemblies, ‘Celebration' assemblies, parent/child workshops, as well as parents evenings.
Marlborough Junior School aspires to be easily accessible to parents. A successful school is one where there is a partnership between school and home. When children join our school, they will enjoy themselves, thrive, and achieve their best in our stimulating, learning environment. We use every opportunity to provide motivating activities which will stretch your child's imagination and allow them to learn through first-hand experiences.
Our vision is to develop a school community where children can enjoy a welcoming, secure, happy, and healthy environment, where all members can develop self-confidence, self-esteem, self-motivation, independence, compassion, tolerance, and understanding of others.
By The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races, and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
At Marlborough Junior School, we believe in creating a stimulating environment that allows all our children to learn in a way that motivates and interests them through inspirational learning activities and high-quality teaching. Our creative curriculum at Marlborough revolves around the Cornerstones Curriculum. The Cornerstones Curriculum is a creative and thematic approach to learning that is mapped to the new 2014 Primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations. Our new curriculum will be delivered through Imaginative Learning Projects (ILPs) which will provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of our children’s learning.
We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our new curriculum will provide lots of learning challenges throughout the academic year that will require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively, and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum.
