Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Marshside Primary School

The little school with a big heart and big ambitions

It is a real privilege to welcome you to Marshside. I’m incredibly proud to lead such a vibrant, caring and ambitious school community and I am excited to work in partnership with families, staff and – most importantly – our children.

I bring with me a wealth of experience from across a range of educational settings. This background has shaped a deep understanding of how schools can be places where every child is seen, heard and supported to thrive. I am committed to promoting a culture of inclusion, high expectations and genuine care.

At Marshside, our HEART values – Honesty, Empathy, Aspire, Respect and Thrive – are at the core of everything we do. They help us build a school where kindness matters, individuality is celebrated and everyone is encouraged to be their best.

We are proud to be a school where everyone belongs. A place where children feel safe, confident and inspired to learn.

We believe in aiming high, nurturing resilience and making learning enjoyable.

My door is always open. Whether you’re part of our school family already or considering joining us, I warmly invite you to come and see what makes Marshside such a special place to grow, learn and belong.
