🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟
Meet Katey Walker, who studied at Marches School and Sixth Form before going on to build an exciting international teaching career.
Katey studied A level English Language, Geography and RE, Ethics and Philosophy at Sixth Form. Like many students, her experience was shaped by significant events, with lockdown beginning during her Year 12. Despite this challenge, Katey went on to study Primary Education with QTS (Years 5–11) at the University of Chester, graduating with a Distinction.
During her second year at university, Katey took part in a month‑long enrichment placement at a school in Kuwait. She loved the experience so much that she applied for a role there and has been teaching internationally ever since. Katey began her career as a Reception teacher and, after just eight weeks, stepped into a Year 2 teaching role. She is now in her second year as an ECT and continues to thrive teaching Year 2.
Katey’s journey is a brilliant example of how Sixth Form can open doors, build resilience and prepare students for opportunities far beyond the classroom.
If you are considering Sixth Form and wondering where your journey could take you, come and join us and see what is possible 😊

👏 Students in Crew 8W SW have been taking real ownership of their crew time by voting for lead roles within the group.
Roles include checking lesson gradings, supporting with equipment checks, and helping to keep the room clean and tidy.
A few lighter roles have also been introduced for fun, and students will soon have another opportunity to vote for two new roles focused on Fun Friday activity planning and supporting display boards.
It is fantastic to see student voice, responsibility and leadership developing so positively.

🧪 8K5 have been getting hands on and curious in Science while exploring metals, metal carbonates and oxides.
Recently, students tested for hydrogen and were treated to some brilliant squeaky pops along the way. The lesson focused on reacting metal carbonates with acids and testing for carbon dioxide by passing the collected gas through limewater, with excellent results all round.

We are incredibly proud to share Lydia Griffiths’ journey since joining Marches School in Year 7.
After continuing her studies at Marches Sixth Form with A levels in Psychology, Sociology and Drama, Lydia went on to study Mental Health Nursing at Manchester Metropolitan University. Over three demanding years, she completed the 2,300 placement hours required to qualify, working across acute mental health wards, community services including CAMHS and Early Intervention in Psychosis, as well as rehabs and prisons.
Lydia qualified in September 2025 as a Registered Mental Health Nurse with a First Class degree and is now working at a local prison, one of the largest prisons in England and Wales. Her role includes assessing mental health needs, managing a caseload of men with serious mental illness, coordinating care, and supporting people at some of the most difficult points in their lives.
Lydia speaks honestly about the challenges of her training, particularly while living with a disability, and about the resilience it took to keep going when self doubt crept in. Her story is a powerful reminder that progress is not always easy, but it is possible, and that compassion, determination and belief can open doors.
Thank you, Lydia, for sharing your story and for the difference you are making every day 💙

Joel Milner was invited to join the commentary team at TNS, a fantastic opportunity from the club.
The match was streamed live on YouTube and Joel absolutely rose to the occasion. Both Jack, the match commentator, and Sam, TNS’s Head of Media, were incredibly impressed with Joel’s confidence and natural ability, especially as this was his first experience behind the mic.
A huge well done to Joel for representing himself and the school so professionally. We are excited to see where this talent takes him next 👏🔥
You can watch the broadcast featuring Joel’s superb supporting commentary here
