Ofsted
We were last inspected in July 2024. Our latest report can be found below.
The report highlights particular aspects of our school.
Our Aspirations
"The school has high aspirations for pupils. These are consistently realised. Pupils leave the school in Year 6 with the knowledge and the personal skills that set them up for future success."
Our Children
"The pupils are polite, respectful and patient. They speak with enthusiasm about what they have learned. They consider the feelings of others when they play, learn and interact with each other"
"Behaviour in school enables teachers to teach and pupils to learn."
Our Curriculum
"The school uses the curriculum effectively as a springboard for success."
"A revised curriculum that opens minds, broadens experiences and builds on successes is in place. Staff have identified the essential knowledge they want pupils to learn in the different subject areas. Teaching supports pupils in acquiring knowledge. Pupils then apply the knowledge effectively in activities and tasks."
"The school provides boundless opportunities for all pupils to learn and flourish beyond the formal curriculum. Clubs, fixtures and trips that link to sport are supported and enjoyed by pupils"
"The governors, leaders and staff are united in their efforts to make pupils’ time at school a positive experience. The determination to create memories that time does not erase is being realised. Staff and pupils are proud to say Marlcliffe is their school."
Our Community
"Marlcliffe is a community school by name and by action. The community works with the school and vice versa."
"For many, the school is a focal point, bringing children and families together."
