Marshfield is a welcoming, creative school where pupils are happy and feel safe. Children say lessons are fun and they learn a lot.

Leaders want all pupils to succeed. Pupils are motivated to do their best and live up to the high expectations leaders have of them. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.

Pupils are respectful and polite. They understand how to behave. This results in a calm and orderly environment in classrooms and around the school.

The many parents and carers who expressed a view are proud of the school. They told inspectors that it is, ‘nurturing, caring and inspiring’.

Pupils receive a rich and varied curriculum which is enhanced by extra opportunities you provide such as music, drama, sports and citizenship

Pupils enjoy the range of clubs, events, and activities on offer. Leaders have created the ‘Marshfield Musts’ to provide pupils with valuable opportunities and experiences.

Pupils are respectful, tolerant, active citizens who live out the school values. They understand there are different types of families and can talk about healthy relationships.

Staff are proud to work at Marshfield. They say the school is well-led and managed by leaders, who prioritise staff well-being and workload.
