Marlborough Primary School Celebrates 90 Years
Celebrating 90 Years of Marlborough
 |
2026 marks a special milestone in the history of Marlborough Primary School as we proudly celebrate our 90th anniversary.
Since opening our doors in 1936, Marlborough has been at the heart of the local community, supporting generations of children and families. For nine decades, our school has provided a caring, inclusive and inspiring environment where children are encouraged to thrive, build lasting friendships and develop the skills and values they need for life.
Throughout this anniversary year, we will be celebrating Marlborough’s rich history, the people who have shaped our school and the exciting future ahead. |
