School Prospectus
Welcome
It is my great privilege to be able to introduce you to the Market Weighton School. We are a small school, proud of our traditional rural heritage, yet ambitious for the future of all our students. Our size is a real strength as it enables students and their families to work closely with the teaching and support staff at the school, building positive working relationships over an extended period of time. We believe that students achieve best in a supportive and positive environment – and that is what you will find in our school. We hope that you will find these pages helpful, please contact the school should you wish to receive further information.

“The school has made every effort to ensure that the transition from Primary to Secondary has been seamless. My son’s start at TMWS could not have gone any better. He has settled into school really well and is starting to make new friends”
“My daughter has changed for the better since starting at TMWS, she is happy and loves coming to school. She does her homework every evening as soon as she gets home and is now very organised. Brilliant”
“Both my children are very happy at this school. Academic standards are high with lots of interesting extra-curricular activities offered”
“The interactive side where parents can check in on their child’s progress is a big plus. The communication so far has been superb.”
“I felt I had to email to say what a wonderful experience myself and My son had at your open evening event this evening.
My son is now excited for the transition to secondary education and absolutely loved your school. We haven’t always had a great relationship with school and it can often cause him extreme anxiety but he hasn’t stopped talking about Market Weighton School all night.
I just wanted to Thank You all for the effort and time given, and the wonderful example your students gave us, everyone was so welcoming and open to talking. I can only hope now that we receive a place with yourselves, you have a really lovely school”
