Starting school is an exciting milestone. Our Reception classes provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are supported to become curious, resilient, and independent learners — guided by our vision: Engage, Support, Motivate, Challenge and our values of Kindness, Integrity, Curiosity, and Resilience.
Our experienced Early Years team work closely with families to make the transition from home or Nursery smooth and positive. We focus on developing strong foundations in communication, language, and early literacy and maths, while encouraging creativity, play, and exploration.
A Strong Start for Every Child
Warm, welcoming classrooms: Designed for exploration, creativity, and active learning
Experienced Staff: Teachers and teaching assistants know every child individually.
Rich, Play-Based Curriculum: Inspires curiosity and builds key early learning skills

At Marlborough, children learn through hands-on experiences that connect to the real world — helping them develop a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their school journey.
