Welcome Statement

Welcome back to our new academic year 2024-25. As always there is a great deal to celebrate and look forward too- just take a look at our website and twitter tweets.

 

At a national level, change is afoot, with a new government and long hoped for changes to Ofsted Inspections, but here at Marish Academy Trust we will get on with the business of educating children and supporting families, especially those experiencing challenges.

We acknowledge that many parents will be anxious about the return to school

this year in the wake of the tragedy in Southport over the summer.

However, it is important to note the resilient community spirit that has risen up in Southport to bring some healing and support to those suffering injury and loss.

 Despite so much turmoil and strife in the world and even within our local community, our children in both schools role model consistently how to serve others and make a difference for good.

 So, our message to you this term is one of hope and thanks. You, as parents and carers have enabled and supported your child to be the best they can be and to make the most of their opportunities at Willow and Marish. Our schools would not be as successful without the positive partnership you participate in with us.

Thank you for all you have given to that partnership in the past and in advance for your support for 2024- 25. We, the staff team and governors are very proud to be a part of this amazing, resilient community. Most of all we are proud of our children- we know you will be too.

Mrs Denham and Miss Court
