Noremarsh Junior School

About Noremarsh Junior School

Noremarsh, part of the Ascend Learning Trust is a two form entry junior school in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett. We have strong links to both Royal Wootton Bassett Academy, which the majority of our children transfer to at the end of year 6 and Wootton Bassett Infants where the majority of our children typically start their educational journey. We pride ourselves on creating a happy and warm community that enables children to reach their full potential on this step of their education.

At Noremarsh we believe that every child in our community has the right to be inspired by an engaging and purposeful curriculum. Our school is located in the heart of a rich historical and geographical region and we are developing our curriculum to reflect that. It is a really exciting time for us as a team as we are shaping a curriculum that is ambitious and engaging for all.

We are very proud of the caring and nurturing environment at Noremarsh where kindness runs like a golden thread through all we do. This can be seen across our school from the warm welcome our office team provide to the interactions between all our year groups on the playground. We have developed our year six responsibilities and appoint Ambassadors, Sports Leaders and Librarians who have whole school responsibilities, are responsible for mentoring younger children and act as role models across our school community.

We look forward to welcoming you to Noremarsh!
