Marleigh Primary Academy

Marleigh Primary Academy will be a vital component of the new Marleigh development on Newmarket Road in Cambridge.  The school is a 420 place primary academy with a 52 place Nursery.  We have been planning for the opening of Marleigh Primary Academy since its inception and are tremendously excited to be on the journey to completion.  The new school and nursery will offer an outstanding environment both indoors and outdoors to excite and engage children in their learning.  We will ensure facilities within the school are available for a range of uses and occasions.

Trust leaders intend to engage leaders and staff from other Anglian Learning schools in designing the provision and the curriculum.  In this way, Marleigh will reflect the aspirations for all children and young people in Trust schools and we will be able to maximise the resources made available to us as we establish the academy.

The vision for Marleigh Primary Academy is to:

• Create excellence in all aspects of the Academy’s environment and provision.
• Build an academy recognised locally and nationally as a system leader created through the collaboration of leaders and staff across Trust academies.
• Establish a strong STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) curriculum, reflecting the business environment of Cambridge.
• Elevate expectations through our curriculum planning which will facilitate the establishment of the Marleigh and the Marleigh Primary Academy communities and will take as its focus ‘A Sense of Place’. Foundation subjects will be taught with direct relevance to the Marleigh local area. For example: History – World War Two to be related to the Marshall airfield and locality

Our key intent is for Marleigh Primary Academy to be at the core of the Marleigh community and to ensure that the children of families moving into housing within the Marleigh development can have a place at the school.  We would love to hear from you as a potential parent or as an interested party.  We invite anyone interested in finding out more about Marleigh Primary Academy to get in touch via our email address enquiries@marleighprimary.org and follow us on our social media pages @MarleighPA on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep up to date with our progress.
