We work together – as one team in the belief that we are greater than the sum of our parts. We foster an enterprising culture through collaboration and in close partnership with industry and other educators.
We keep getting better – using our ‘can-do’ attitude towards continuous improvement and innovation.
All of the staff at Marden are committed to ensuring that the school keeps its friendly, caring atmosphere whilst ensuring that children develop a broad range of life skills. We want all the children to become confident, independent learners who show respect for one another and can talk articulately about their feelings and ideas.

We strongly recommend that you come to visit our setting so that you can see in action what an inspiring and purposeful environment it is, for both pupils and adults. If you would be interested in booking a visit or a call with the academy, please contact Amy Wenban (Recruitment Advisor) on amy.wenban@latrust.org.uk.
