🎄 Christmas Celebrations at The Marches! 🎄

A huge thank you to Scottish Power for their generous donation of sweets for our end-of-term rewards! 🍬🎁

This festive season, we also celebrated our Christmas Lunch and the winners of the 'Ovid for All' English Competition! 🏆📚

Well done to all the students who participated – your hard work and creativity truly shine! ✨

It’s been a wonderful term, and we’re so grateful for the support from our community. Here’s to ending the year on a high note and looking forward to even more achievements in the new year! 🌟

Are we supposed to bring our Yr11 student with us?

🌟 Celebrating Success on the International Stage! 🌟

An incredibly talented student from The Marches School recently competed in the Czech Republic at a National Gymnastics Competition, and we are thrilled to share her outstanding achievements! 🏅

This dedicated athlete not only placed 5th overall in a highly competitive field but also earned a remarkable 3rd place on the bars, ranking among the very best in the entire country! 🏆✨

Her hard work, discipline, and passion for gymnastics have truly paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of her accomplishments on the international stage. 🌍💪

Keep shining, and we can't wait to see what you achieve next!

⚽️ A tough but valiant effort from our Year 8 football team last night in Bridgnorth! 💪

After a thrilling match that went into extra time and penalties, the boys played with heart and determination, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to level the game. We dominated large parts of the match but couldn’t quite convert the chances we created.

As the sun set and the river Severn flooded the nearby pitches, the match was decided in a penalty shootout, and unfortunately, we lost 4-3, exiting the cup.

A huge well done to all the players for their great spirit and resilience, and especially to those who stepped up to take the penalties! 👏

We are proud of the team and their effort, and we look forward to their next challenge!

Very interesting

🎄🎉 We had a fantastic time at our first-ever Christmas Cosy Evening for Key Stage 3 students at Marches School! 🎅🎁

Students were invited to come in their coziest clothes to enjoy a fun-filled evening with Christmas crafts, games, and plenty of festive cheer. There was no shortage of Christmas jumpers, and our amazing student leaders from Year 10 and Year 11 ran a tuck shop with delicious hot chocolate and cake! 🍫🍰

All the money raised is going to our chosen charity, Lingen Davies, supporting a great cause. 🌟

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the event such a success! We can't wait for next year’s festive fun! ✨

🎄🏐 What a festive fun-filled evening at Marches School! 🎁✨

Our students truly lit up the court at the after-school Festive House Netball event with their vibrant Christmas fancy dress! The court was a flurry of festive cheer, with highlights including a human Christmas present and a mischievous Grinch darting around. 🎅

Everyone played their hearts out, and the excitement is building as the house results will be revealed in the Christmas Whole School Assembly. Ho ho ho, what a merry match it was! 🎄
