🎨 Year 7 at Marches School have been getting creative with Pablo Picasso-inspired continuous line portraits – but with a twist!

Using their developing sewing skills, students have mastered back stitch, running stitch, and applique to bring these beautiful artworks to life.

It's incredible to see how continuous line can be explored through different media - well done to our talented students! 🧵👏

Oswestry in Bloom – Eco & Gardening Club Shine!

Our Eco and Gardening Club were proud to welcome the judges for this year's Oswestry in Bloom competition!

Students gave a fantastic tour, explaining how they’ve been working hard to create a beautiful ornamental feature around the school reception and developing more informal wildflower areas to attract bees and butterflies.

The judges were incredibly impressed not only with the stunning displays but also with the enthusiasm and knowledge of the students they met.

We’ll have to wait until October to find out the results, but the feedback so far has been very positive.

Science Rockets!

Our brilliant Year 7s have been putting their creativity and science skills to the test with a water rocket challenge!

Working in teams, they designed, built, and launched their own rockets using their knowledge of forces, pressure, and aerodynamics to see whose design could go the furthest.

There were some impressive launches, a few squeals and screams, and lots of excitement and laughter along the way!

Orchestra Day – A Musical Success!

Children had a fantastic time taking part in The Marches Academy Trust Orchestra Day!

The event brought together 70 talented children from across our Trust and feeder primary schools for a full day of joyful orchestral playing in the brilliant Barnes Theatre facility.

They performed exciting pieces including Viva La Vida, Don't Stop Believing, and Mamma Mia! and the energy was incredible!

One enthusiastic child summed it up perfectly:
"Today was very good and I loved playing the guitar with everyone - it was epic!!!"
