Marsden Heights describes itself as a learning community, and prides itself on allowing its students to reach ambitious goals, be that academically, personally or socially. There is a focus on helping children develop into independent learners to prepare them for future life as responsible citizens, and on giving pupils a healthy combination of challenges and rewards.
