Ethos
At Marriott Primary School we believe in the concept of lifelong learning. Adults and children learn new things every day. Learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone. We believe that people learn best in different ways.
At our school we provide a rich and varied learning environment that allows children to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential.
We provide an inclusive education through varied teaching styles, appropriate learning objectives and by the use of a range of access strategies that will overcome potential barriers to learning.
There is a culture of high expectations of all staff and children. Teachers demonstrate a commitment to every learner’s success. Children are encouraged to ask questions and are listened to. Feelings and opinions are included, valued and children feel secure. Through an active and relevant curriculum all children are engaged in learning.
Home and community involvement is encouraged in all aspects of school life.
