Dear Parents, Carers and Friends,
Thank you for showing an interest in Marsh Infant and Nursery School. I hope that you find the information on this website useful both if you are new to the school or Nursery or are already part of the Marsh family.
Marsh School is an Infant and Nursery school on the edge of High Wycombe. It is surrounded by the Chiltern Hills on one side and housing on the other making it uniquely placed between country and town. It has wonderful grounds that we are developing further and plans are in place to further improve our interesting Edwardian building. It is a school at the heart of the community with several generations of the same family attending although we welcome new members with open arms. Our parents are supportive and take a full part in the school. We have a highly trained, dedicated team who are deeply committed to providing a high quality education for young children.
It is our mission to provide the best quality early education for the whole child, working together with parents and carers so that children develop a love of learning. We want our children to flourish in all aspects of their lives within a safe atmosphere of mutual support and trust. It is also our mission to be a caring, family school at the heart of the community. We always have high expectations of ourselves and the children and we are deeply committed to continuing to raising achievement. Creativity, fun and the broadening of horizons are central to our work. Every child is known personally and is special to us.
We find as many ways as possible to do this so we are always looking for exciting contexts for real learning as well as providing a solid understanding of the basics. This includes providing a range of extra curricular activities suitable to the age of the children such as karate, music, dance, gardening and bird watching clubs. We run special arts projects as schools that provide good creative links usually have better literacy results.
Our recent OFSTED highlighted how good we are at promoting the personal and social development and well being of our children throughout the whole school. Our Foundation Stage was praised by OFSTED for accelerating the learning of our delightful, youngest children. Our children leave Marsh School with levels of achievement that we are proud of. Our SATS scores are always in line with or above the national average. We are very proud of our children and are regularly praised for their behaviour. The wide range of cultures and backgrounds of the children make belonging to Marsh School an interesting, rewarding and uplifting experience. Many people are struck by how special the school is when they visit. We want to go above and beyond for our children and the community around the school
Every day there is something to celebrate at the school from a young child writing their name for the very first time to children who have attended every single day. Our Friday assemblies are special times where we celebrate the many achievements of the week. We hold Healthy School Status and we have the Active Mark for our commitment to providing high quality physical education.
If you are finding out about the school for the first time, this website will only give you a flavour of the many aspects of school life and I am sure that you will have many questions. Please feel free to contact the school to make an appointment to look around or to talk.
Thank you again for your interest in Marsh School and I look forward to meeting you soon.
Best Wishes
Mrs Rebecca Morrisson
