Quotes from our latest Ofsted report
"You are rightly proud that Marlborough Science Academy is a caring, welcoming school in which pupils are safe and learn in a calm environment. Relationships are exceptionally positive and characterised by mutual respect. This gives pupils the security to test and to share their ideas during classroom discussion, and to ask for help when they need it. Pupils enjoy coming to school because, as one put it, ‘teachers always go the extra mile to help us, and there is so much to get involved in outside of our lessons.’"
"Almost all pupils say they are safe and enjoy their learning. They told inspectors that bullying is uncommon, and that teachers deal with it effectively on the rare occasions when it does occur. The very large number of parents who responded to Parent View were almost unanimous in agreeing with this judgement."
"Pupils appreciate the fact that, in the words of one, ‘It doesn’t matter if you are gay, or transgender, or just a bit different – everyone is accepted and we just get on well with each other.’ Pupils also appreciate the steps the school takes to help those with mental health issues, such as providing access to counselling."
