We welcome you to Barmby on the Marsh Primary School!

It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to be the Headteacher of this welcoming primary school! Barmby on the Marsh is a traditional village school, combining a warm, family atmosphere with an enthusiasm for learning whilst providing a varied and creative curriculum. We are very much a part of the village of Barmby and we value and are proud to be a part of our local community.

Our excellent team of staff take the time and care to get to know the children and their families so that we can all work together to achieve the best we can for our pupils. The members of ‘Team Barmby’’ are caring and supportive of each other; we believe in each other and encourage others to have self-belief too. Together we aspire to be the best version of ourselves that we can. There is a great friendly, community feel in our school where effective learning is embedded. We strive for high engagement and inclusive learning and activities for all.

Our school motto is: Bee the Best!

Our philosophy for education is to encourage and develop children’s abilities and talents so that each child grows into a confident, independent individual. We want our pupils to develop the ability to think and reason and to understand how our mind-set can help us to be successful. We have high expectations for every individual and we encourage respect and a sense of pride. For prospective parents we hope this website and our school prospectus will give you an insight into our school.
