Marshfields School

Every student matters at Marshfields School and every decision we take is based on what is in the best interests of the individual student. We firmly believe that the students and staff at Marshfields are its most important asset, with the staff having high expectations and aspirations for our students’ health, safety, happiness, knowledge, skills and independence.

The Enhancement curriculum is designed to offer a formal approach to education. Students will benefit from a highly differentiated curriculum approach The Enrichment Pathway is structured to encourage students to build on the Early Learning Goals and to acquire skills and knowledge across all the areas of the National curriculum.

Objectives are age and stage appropriate, following national curriculum standards appropriate to the level students are working at, ensuring all students access a broad and balanced curriculum where we endeavour to ensure that students develop an enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning.

Students in Key Stage 2 and 3 in Enrichment, Engagement and Enhancement Pathways participate in a structured standardised timetable of lessons. This allows for cross-pathway learning where a student benefits from the pathway as a whole but has a specific area of strength or need for greater development where they can access that subjects' learning through an alternative pathway. Mornings at Marshfields focus on all core learning skills. In the afternoons, students receive broader curriculum experiences.
