I am delighted to welcome you to The Marches School website. We are a forward thinking, innovative school, striving to ensure that young people make the very most of their learning adventure and are equipped with the skills required to prosper in the 21st Century. We believe firmly in the need to keep moving forward so that our young people have the best possible experiences and life opportunities and we ensure that our curriculum is innovative and inspiring, our facilities are first class and students feel fully supported in all that they do.

In 2011 we achieved our best ever GCSE Results and were the only Secondary School in Shropshire to be mentioned in Ofsted’s Outstanding Providers List 2010/11. The school’s achievements are the result of a very supportive parent body, caring and forward thinking staff, energetic and thoughtful students and a pro-active governing body. Students are placed firmly at the centre of all we do and we work collaboratively with young people and their parents/carers to ensure that each student has the opportunity to achieve their personal best and enjoy as many enriching experiences as possible.

As Shropshire’s first Academy, we are on an exciting journey and I warmly invite you to visit our vibrant and caring learning environment, where you can see first-hand the wealth of opportunities available to students.

I look forward to meeting and working with you in the near future.

Mrs S Longville, Headteacher
