The Marlborough has developed into a more specialist provision enjoying newly created therapy spaces including sensory play rooms and a bespoke playground area.  We pride ourselves on being able to offer every child an individualised curriculum based on their priority needs.  Enrichment activities such as horse riding and forest school visits further enhance our curriculum.  We believe every child is capable and deserving of the very best in teaching and learning.  We work as one team to fulfil this aim across The Marlborough.
