⚽ An exciting leadership opportunity for students at The Marches School

We’re pleased to be sharing a great opportunity for Marches students to become young football coaches at Morda Primary School.

This role gives students the chance to support and help lead their football club sessions, while developing confidence, leadership, coaching and communication skills along the way. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to gain experience working with younger pupils and make a real difference through sport.

Opportunities like this are a fantastic way for our students to build skills for the future while giving back to their local community 👏

🧮 Pi Day fun at The Marches School

Students from Year 8 through to Year 13 put their memories to the test in a Pi memorisation competition, and the standard was incredibly high across all year groups.

A huge well done to Eren Drury in Year 13, who broke last year’s record by remembering an impressive 177 decimal places of pi 👏

To celebrate everyone’s brilliant effort, students enjoyed a slice of pi themed cake baked by Ms Hindle, the perfect way to round off a fun and challenging event 🍰

🎉 Marches Youth Club has launched! 🎉

We’re excited to share that we’ve teamed up with 4 All Foundation to launch the brand new Marches Youth Club, open on Fridays at 3.30pm.

Places are open to children in Years 5 to 8, but spaces are limited so booking is essential. A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Oswestry and Cambrian for their generous funding to help bring this club to life 🙌

It’s going to be a brilliant space for young people to have fun, make friends and feel part of something special.

Book your place now at 4-all-foundation.classforkids.io/info/26

🎓 Year 12 students recently attended the UCAS Convention in Manchester to explore their options after sixth form.

With representatives from over 150 universities, students had the chance to learn more about courses, entry routes and student life, as well as speak to major employers about apprenticeship opportunities.

After the convention, students enjoyed some time exploring the city, visiting art galleries and museums, shopping, and enjoying food together, making the most of the full experience.

To find out more about our Sixth Form, including Open6, our hybrid approach to sixth form learning, visit marchesschool.co.uk or open6.co.uk.

🌟 Huge congratulations to Isabelle Mayhew in Year 10 🌟

Isabelle has won the Next Generation Volunteer Award at the Oswestry Life Local Heroes Awards, a fantastic achievement and so well deserved.

Over the past four years, Isabelle has organised live music charity events in support of local charities, showing incredible commitment, generosity and leadership at such a young age. Her dedication to giving back to the community is truly inspiring, and she is a wonderful role model for others.
