About Marriotts School

Marriotts School is a heavily oversubscribed secondary in Stevenage, with 699 applications for 228 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — an oversubscription ratio of 3.07. Of those, 273 families put it as their first preference, and 186 received offers. That level of demand suggests a school that local parents are actively choosing, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. The school is a mixed, non-faith state secondary for ages 11 to 18, with a current roll of 1,410 pupils against a capacity of 1,500. Just over 31% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and gives some context to the school's intake. The headteacher is Bethany Honnor, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated it Good overall, with Good across every category including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership.
