Our school is a friendly and exciting place to learn and develop the foundations of important life skills. Our dynamic teaching methods and aspirational ethos foster in our school community of children and adults a lifelong zest for learning, self-esteem and ‘can do’ attitude.

Our curriculum is inspiring and often extends outside the classroom with visits to museums, castles, beaches and beyond. We have well-equipped grounds which enhance our curriculum and enable pupils to…

• explore the natural world surrounding them and igniting new skills as part of our Forest School ethos.
• Improve health, wellbeing and fitness through the use of our ‘Golden Mile’ track and gym equipment purchased with the school’s Sports Funding grant.

Marnel is a school that values close partnership with parents/ carers. We understand that they are, and always will be, their child’s first teacher. We believe that this creation of a ‘School Community’ is fundamental to the success of our children.

All staff and governors are fully committed to the principle that all children are entitled to equality of opportunity and a quality education. Marnel Infant School is a happy inclusive school where children want to come every-day.

Childhood is precious and at Marnel it is our privilege to ensure children reach their full potential with high academic standards, progress for all regardless of their starting points and happy memories.
