Marish Academy Trust

STRIVE FOR THE HEIGHTS

Letter from Executive Headteacher

Back in 2012, Marish Primary School had begun the process of converting to academy, when we were asked to support another school, Willow Primary. Willow became the second school in our Trust in 2013 and in 2026, Pippins School, in nearby Colnbrook, is set to become the third.

Marish Academy Trust serves around 1500 pupils in total, from around 800 families, living in three distinct and very diverse communities in the Slough Local Authority Area. Yes we have grown over the years, but this is not our priority. Instead, what makes us special, is our commitment to developing schools, without walls, that nurture whole families, not just children, within their local context and which strive to deliver a first class education, to every child who joins us, regardless of their starting points. 
 
Come and visit our schools and you will be surprised by the harmony within them. Staff, children and other stakeholders have co created a truly inclusive culture where all are welcome, come to belong quickly and achieve better than expected outcomes. 
 
Of course, there are challenges and pressures, but overall Marish, Willow and Pippins are places were children thrive and in consequence parents can relax because they have found, not the perfect school, but a school which knows and cares for their child. When there are problems, we will work in partnership with you to overcome them and endeavour to set your child back on the road to the success that they deserve and that we can celebrate together.
 
I look forward to meeting you one day soon. 
 
 
Gill Denham, Executive Headteacher, Marish Academy Trust
