From the Marshchapel Infant School
Marshchapel Infant School is joined within the Fenland Federation of schools, with Grainthorpe Junior school.
Our small school caters for all learning needs, and we pride ourselves on the nurturing and care we offer all pupils.
The parents of new children who join us are impressed by the support we offer and our opportunities to enhance learning.
Our curriculum is rich with enhanced experiences so the pupils can be immersed in areas of learning and deepen their understanding. For example, Skylarks visited the local fire station to see how quickly Pudding Lane would have burned during the Great Fire of London in 1666 whilst the Lapwings visited a local farm to see pumpkins growing and to pick their own.
We have strong local links with farmers, emergency services, St Mary’s Church and the Chapel which gives the village its name. We use the village hall for sports sessions, concerts and larger assemblies and use the local village swimming pool to provide small group lessons to our KS1 children.
Marshchapel is A.C.E.
A is Aspirational
We aspire to uplift our school community academically, emotionally and socially.
C is Creative
We create opportunities and experiences to deepen the understanding of our learning.
