After much deliberation, our judges awarded the top three spots:
🥉 3rd Place – Summer (Year 9)
🥈 2nd Place – Zak (Year 7)
🥇 1st Place – Liam (Year 8) for his incredible cartoon character impressions that had the whole room smiling!
The Hub Talent Show is a shining example of what makes our school community so special.

🎭Year 9 Spanish Students Enjoy Live Theatre Experience!
A group of our Year 9 students heading into GCSE Spanish had the opportunity to watch a brilliant Spanish-language play called Primera Cita, a hilarious story following two young people getting ready for a date.
The students had a fantastic time and fully embraced the experience with plenty of audience participation (including Emily Williams taking to the stage herself! 👏).
A few of our students shared their thoughts:
🗣️ Noah Davies: “It was really funny and I want to do it again!”
🗣️ Ellie Mae Shortman: “It was really funny and I could follow what was going on.”
It was a brilliant way to bring language learning to life - ¡muy bien hecho, Year 9!

🧠 Building Strong Learners from the Start – Our Key Stage 3 Revision Curriculum in Action! 📚
At The Marches School, we believe that effective learning strategies shouldn’t start in Year 11, they should be embedded right from the beginning. That’s why we’re proud to be rolling out our Revision Curriculum across Key Stage 3, helping students build powerful, lifelong study habits early on.
This year, our students have been exploring:
✅ How memory works (and how to make it stick)
✅ The power of using flashcards effectively
✅ The benefits of self-quizzing
✅ How to create knowledge splats – quick-fire brain dumps to show what you know!
📲 Want to know more about how we support revision and learning at The Marches?
