Pupils thrive at this tiny village school. They are inspired by the school’s values, where ’respect, courage, compassion and curiosity’ are brought to life through a thoughtful curriculum that is enriched with meaningful experiences. These include the popular weekly swimming lessons, which help pupils to stay safe in their local area. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well across all areas of the curriculum and get the support that they need. Everyone is included at Marsworth. Pupils play together happily. They work co-operatively together in lessons. Pupils are taught about equality and what bullying and unkindness are. Bullying is not part of school life. Clear systems and routines help pupils understand the importance of trying to do the right things all the time. Teachers act quickly to resolve any issues when they arise. This ensures that pupils are safe and learn in a calm, positive school environment. Pupils enjoy becoming part of their supportive local community. They learn how to do this through strong links with the local church and through taking part in projects which teach life skills while helping others. This helps them to feel responsible and confident.
