🎼 Music for Stage and Screen

Following a fantastic trip to Birmingham Symphony Hall, our students were treated to an incredible performance of music from stage and screen.

Here is what Lucy Hawley had to say about the experience:

“I really enjoyed our trip to Birmingham Symphony Hall! The different songs all sounded amazing and the orchestra and soloists were incredible. I love the mix of songs from stage and screen and it was great to hear them performed by a full orchestra.” 🎶✨

🏉 Year 10 Rugby County Cup

A fantastic group of boys proudly represented the Marches in the Year 10 Rugby County Cup at home against Abraham Darby. Despite the opposition having more experience and time playing together, our team matched them every step of the way with amazing enthusiasm, determination and spirit.

They gave everything in every tackle and showed real heart from start to finish.👏

📅📚 Revision Technique #4: Spaced Practice 📚📅

Want your revision to stick? Say goodbye to cramming and hello to Spaced Practice - a proven way to retain information for longer.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Spread Out Your Revision: Instead of revising a topic all in one go, review it several times over days or weeks.
2️⃣ Plan Ahead: Create a revision timetable that revisits topics regularly.
3️⃣ Mix It Up: Alternate between different subjects or topics during each session.

Why it works:
🔸 Spacing your learning helps your brain strengthen memories over time.
🔸 It reinforces understanding and reduces forgetting.
🔸 You’ll feel more prepared and confident for exams.

💡 Pro Tip: Use flashcards or quizzes to review material during your spaced sessions - it makes the learning even more effective!

Start building those long-term memories today with Spaced Practice!

Today, February 10th is Safer Internet Day.

This year’s theme is Smart tech, safe choices, supporting everyone to explore how AI can be used safely, responsibly and ethically in schools.

We believe AI should enhance learning and creativity while keeping children’s wellbeing at the centre. Human skills like curiosity, critical thinking and meaningful connection will always matter most.

To mark the day, we are sharing a video to help you understand generative AI. It supports children to navigate the world of AI, spot AI generated images and think critically about what they see online.
