Transition from early childhood education to Primary School

Children who have a positive transition from early childhood education into their new primary school environment are likely to be happy at school and improve their social and academic skills. Make an appointment with our Head of Primary, Jo Burns to discuss your child's transition to Marsden Primary and how we can support you as you prepare for this important milestone.

What sets Marsden Primary apart?

Make an appointment with our Head of Primary, Jo Burns to learn more about Marsden Primary School's curriculum and programmes, including iDeaL Structured Literacy, PR1ME Mathematics and Whole Cohort Arrowsmith.
