🎗️ Support for Children Impacted by Cancer - New Wellbeing Sessions Starting This June 💛🧒
We’re proud to announce the launch of a year-long project in partnership with Happiness For All CIC, Katie the Happiness Coach, and the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund - offering gentle, supportive wellbeing sessions for children and young people who have been emotionally affected by a loved one’s cancer diagnosis.
📍 Hosted at The Loopy Shrew, Shrewsbury (kindly supported by The DiTella Group)
🗓 Every Saturday Morning in June
🕙 Session 1: 10am–11am (Ages 6/7 up to 11)
🕚 Session 2: 11am–12noon (Ages 11+)
These small group sessions are light, low-pressure, and practical, focusing on emotional resilience, self-care, and creative activities (like crafts for the younger group). Children are welcome to share their experiences but never pressured to talk.
💬 These sessions are for children and young people affected by a loved one’s diagnosis—whether it’s a parent, sibling, grandparent, or close family friend.
📩 Spaces are limited! To find out more or reserve a place, please contact:
Katie – katie@thehappinessclub.co.uk
Note: Sessions may not be suitable for those currently experiencing bereavement or where a loved one is receiving palliative care. For bereavement support, please reach out to:
📧 sath.macmillaninformation@nhs.net
🌐 Winston’s Wish
Let’s support our young people with kindness, understanding, and practical tools for emotional wellbeing. 💛

🗿🎨 Gargoyle Greatness in Year 9! 🎨🗿
Our talented Year 9 students have been getting stuck into their gargoyle project — and they’re absolutely loving it! 😍
After exploring tonal drawing techniques and designing their own imaginative creations, students moved on to sculpting some truly fantastic clay gargoyle studies.
Now, the finishing touches are going on as they bring their pieces to life with bold spray paint effects! 🎭💥
It’s been brilliant to see such creativity, focus, and pride in their work — well done, Year 9!

📚✍️ Bright and Early for Success! ✍️📚
This morning, dozens of dedicated students arrived early some as early as 7:30am to get in some last-minute revision and steady their nerves before today’s English Literature GCSE exam.
There was a great atmosphere in school as students came together to share hints, tips, and encouragement - a true display of the Marches spirit! We’re so proud of their hard work, determination, and support for one another.
💪 Good luck to everyone sitting exams - you’ve got this!

🎬✨ Creativity in Motion! ✨🎬
It was wonderful to see such creativity in Mrs Brightmore’s room, where students were busy bringing stories to life through the magic of stop motion animation! 🎞️🧡
This fantastic activity was a brilliant blend of fun, teamwork, and digital skills — with learners using their imagination and tech know-how to turn ideas into animated masterpieces.
Well done to everyone involved — we can't wait to see the final films! 👏🎥

🌿 Exploring Ecosystems at Marches School! 🌿
Mrs. Burgoyne's 9W3 geography class has been hard at work identifying the organisms that make up the ecosystem on our beautiful school field. This hands-on activity is part of their learning about the nutrient cycle, and the students are thoroughly engaged in discovering the intricate connections within nature. 🌱🔍
We are proud of their dedication and curiosity as they explore and understand the vital components of our environment. Keep up the great work, 9W3!
