School Description

Marden Primary is a calm, friendly school with a positive atmosphere. Pupils are happy and enjoy their lessons. They work hard and want to learn new things. Pupils are proud of the special experiences that the school offers. These include the chance to care for rabbits and guinea pigs. Pupils also benefit from the quiet and beautiful ‘secret garden’ in the school’s grounds. Parents and carers are happy that their children attend this school. One parent commented, ‘I am constantly impressed at the range of extra-curricular activities put on for the children, including stargazing, sports and film nights.’ Pupils behave well. They are safe and well looked after. Leaders do not tolerate bullying. Pupils of all ages are encouraged to work and play together. They treat each other, and their teachers, with respect. Older pupils are house captains. They look after younger pupils at playtimes and lunchtimes. Pupils learn together well in mixed-age classes. Sometimes teachers do not expect enough from pupils and children. Sometimes pupils and children find the work too easy because teachers set tasks that are not sufficiently challenging. When this happens, they do not achieve as well as they could. This is particularly the case in key stage 1 and early years.
