It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to The Marlowe Academy. For those of you fortunate to visit, the first things you will notice are our fantastic building and tremendous facilities. However, a warm welcome is also guaranteed and is often commented upon by our many guests who visit the Academy.

As well as having a long and established reputation in terms of the care, guidance and support provided to our students, we are now entering a period where we as an Academy will also be striving for academic success.

We are fully aware that a young person only gets one chance in terms of receiving a good education which is why we will be endeavouring to ensure that an appropriate and individualised pathway is found for every student at The Marlowe Academy from the moment they start with us in year 7. We believe this in turn will lead to the vast majority of our yearly cohort making at least their expected progress and achieving the best possible grades by the time they finish their time with us.

We are fortunate enough to have many visitors who come to The Marlowe Academy but more are always welcome so I would like to take this opportunity to say should you wish to pay us a visit, please do not hesitate to do so and book a personalised tour with either me or one of my senior team.

Carl Wakefield, Interim Principal
