We are holding an Active Spelling Open Morning for all parents/carers with children in Year 2 and above on Monday 26th June 2023 at 9am - 11am.

Active Spelling is the programme that we use in school to help teach children to spell. At the open morning, you will learn more about how your child learns to spell in school and then you will have the opportunity to join an Active Spelling lesson with your child in their classroom.

Please see ParentMail for more information or contact the school office.

A huge thank you to all our families for your dedication to all children's attendance so far this year.

Our school attendance target is 96.5% which we are currently exceeding at 97%.

We were in the top 10% of Fischer Family Trust (FFT) Primary Schools for the Spring Term which is a great achievement!

We are very pleased and proud to announce that Marston School has been awarded the Bronze Lincolnshire Reading Pledge!

The ultimate aim of the Lincolnshire Reading Pledge is to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, needs or abilities, becomes a confident, fluent and enthusiastic reader.

Marston entered the 5-a-side football tournament held at Belmont School on Wednesday 24th May 2023.  During the group stage, the team won both of their matches – beating Belmont 1^st Team 2-1 and St. Mary’s 5-2 - which enabled them to enter the shield half of the draw.  In the semi-final, they faced Claypole and lost a very tight game 1-0.  The boys went on to beat Belmont 2-1 again in the 3^rd and 4^th  place final. 

Well done to all of those involved! 

 

The children are doing a sponsored walk aound the village BLINDFOLDED on Friday 23rd June 3023.

We are raising money for MACS (a charity for children born without or under developed eyes, this is very close to our hearts at school) as well as the Church Spire Fund and the School's Fund.

Thank you for your continued support in sponsoring the children for the worthy causes.
