🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟

Meet Katey Walker, who studied at Marches School and Sixth Form before going on to build an exciting international teaching career.

Katey studied A level English Language, Geography and RE, Ethics and Philosophy at Sixth Form. Like many students, her experience was shaped by significant events, with lockdown beginning during her Year 12. Despite this challenge, Katey went on to study Primary Education with QTS (Years 5–11) at the University of Chester, graduating with a Distinction.

During her second year at university, Katey took part in a month‑long enrichment placement at a school in Kuwait. She loved the experience so much that she applied for a role there and has been teaching internationally ever since. Katey began her career as a Reception teacher and, after just eight weeks, stepped into a Year 2 teaching role. She is now in her second year as an ECT and continues to thrive teaching Year 2.

Katey’s journey is a brilliant example of how Sixth Form can open doors, build resilience and prepare students for opportunities far beyond the classroom.
If you are considering Sixth Form and wondering where your journey could take you, come and join us and see what is possible 😊

👏 Students in Crew 8W SW have been taking real ownership of their crew time by voting for lead roles within the group.

Roles include checking lesson gradings, supporting with equipment checks, and helping to keep the room clean and tidy.

A few lighter roles have also been introduced for fun, and students will soon have another opportunity to vote for two new roles focused on Fun Friday activity planning and supporting display boards.

It is fantastic to see student voice, responsibility and leadership developing so positively.
