Welcome to Marshfield Primary School
Marshfield Primary School transferred to its present site in September 1967. It was built to serve the communities of Coedkernew, Marshfield, Peterstone, St. Brides, Castleton, and Michaelstone-y-Fedw.
The school is positioned in a semi-rural area within easy access of Newport, Cardiff and the M4 motorway. This has made it a popular area for residential development. The result of this development, along with applications from out-of-catchment families, has resulted in a rise in pupil role.
The school, through the Welsh Office 'Popular School's Initiative', was able to increase its teaching accommodation in 1997 to offer 11 teaching areas, a quiet room, open area and library. A further classroom was added in 2000 and two foundation phase classrooms, a music room and an additional learning needs room were added in 2005.
The area the school serves is rich in history and environmental importance. Full use is made of this valuable resource by the school. The school strives to maintain a village school atmosphere, whilst providing a rich diet of educational opportunities geared to life in the new millennium.
Marshfield is proud of its close links with parents and the communities it serves, and strives to work in close harmony for the benefit of all the children.
