## Notice

The Marlborough Science Academy is a learning community that continues to flourish through a combination of dedicated staff, strong leadership at all levels and a student body who endeavour to embrace their learning opportunities with relish. So much has changed at Marlborough over the years in terms of improvements and innovation. Their Ofsted grading of 'Good' across the board, which they were awarded last year seems like a long time ago now, and even since then they believe their school has continued to improve. Their focus is always on raising aspirations through excellent teaching and learning based firmly on positive student relationships. A happy child will learn and with pathways designed to inspire every learner, they do all that they can to ensure that their children feel motivated, inspired and cared for. School life should be all about developing talents, skills and maturity and they believe very firmly that this needs to happen inside and outside of the classroom. All of their students have access to wonderful trips such as China, India, France and Italy, extra-curricular clubs such as chess, cheerleading, Mandarin, Latin, reading club and of course all the sports. Their results continue to improve and look set to keep up this trend. All their students who leave post 16 education achieve their desired destinations including the Russell Group Universities and in some areas given personal choice and ambition, full time employment. They have also developed strong links with the local business community and many of their students have gone on to study apprenticeships at every level.
