Welcome to Marian Vian Primary School

Welcome to Marian Vian's website. We hope you find it informative. Here, we aim to show you the energy, enthusiasm and determination of the children and all the adults that help continue to make our school a happy and successful place to learn. 

Our school is larger than average for a primary school but has a strong and warm community feeling.

At Marian Vian, we value every effort our children make and encourage them to be curious learners. It is important to us to offer every child an exciting learning experience in an environment that fosters the values of respect, resilience and resourcefulness. We constantly strive for the highest possible standards.

Moreover, we provide our pupils with a variety of stimulating experiences which make learning fun and memorable. In particular at Marian Vian, we have both the opportunity and the skills to promote outdoor learning and a wide range of sporting opportunities. The use of technology to enable our learning is also a strength of our work. In all that we do, we value and encourage our close partnership with parents in supporting their children’s education.  

As part of Compass Academy Trust, Marian Vian Primary School benefits from working closely within a family of four local primary schools and has the opportunity to collaborate and share good practice whilst still retaining our individual identity and ethos.

Our purpose for our children within our family of schools is as follows:

Happy, Safe & Secure - we will ensure that all children are nurtured and learn within an environment where they feel happy, safe and secure.  We will actively build trust and collaboration between all members of our school communities and across the Trust as a whole ​

Inspirational Curriculum - our curriculum will be broad, balanced and enable deep, purposeful learning to take place through exciting, memorable and joyous experiences that enables children to meet the world and contribute to it.​

High Academic and Wider Outcomes - we will never put a ceiling on learning and constantly look for opportunities for all pupils to excel, enabling all pupils to thrive and celebrate their achievements.

Next Steps Ready - we will work collaboratively with all parties to ensure that children are ready for the next steps in their education and in their lives.

We would be delighted to welcome you to our school. Please contact the school office direct (the details can be found on the “Contact” page on our website) with any queries you may have or to make an appointment to visit us to experience our school community and its environment.
