Values and vision
Our core purpose is learning. Great Marlow School is a place of work for learning and achievement. We challenge our students academically but this is not the only attribute that matters here: we challenge our students aesthetically, socially, practically and physically. We believe there is more to life than examinations but their importance must not be under-estimated.
Education is, we believe, about developing the confidence of the whole child and we are proud of the way we do it, inside and outside the classroom. There is an enormous range of educational trips, visits and outdoor learning opportunities. We are proud of our vibrant extra-curricular activities: what we offer is rich and diverse.
