Our Year 11 students took part in an important session exploring the benefits of healthy sleep 😴

They watched a short video that shared 10 helpful tips for achieving a good night’s sleep and discussed simple habits that can make a big difference.

Students also learned about the impact of sleep deprivation and discovered what happened to Randy Gardner when he stayed awake for 11 days. It certainly sparked some eye opening conversations.

Supporting our students with their wellbeing is at the heart of what we do.

Fantastic Photography outcomes from our Year 7 students as part of our Names in Nature project 📸

Our young photographers have been learning how to compose their shots and experiment with editing. Some have even taken their work further by using filters and colour effects to bring their ideas to life! We are so proud of their creativity and growing confidence.

The Marches headed to Oswestry School for a B team Netball tournament and our students were fantastic to watch.

Their enthusiasm shone through and they grew in confidence with every game. For some, this was their first taste of competitive Netball and they embraced the challenge brilliantly.

They were a real credit and it was a joy to see them playing a sport they love.

What a performance from our Year 7 team 🙌

After a tough first quarter trailing 4–1, they showed incredible resilience to turn the game around and secure an impressive 11–6 win against Moreton Hall. Their passing tightened up, they drove into space and completely changed the momentum by half time, leading 6–4.

From there, the Marches took control. The final quarter was full of fast movement, sharp decision making and brilliant teamwork. Emily was outstanding in defence and was named Mrs Bladen’s Player of the Match for her relentless pressure and smart interceptions. Moreton Hall also recognised Phoebe and Ava for their superb efforts.

A fantastic, hard fought victory that shows exactly what this team can achieve.
