🌱 Growing a Greener Future at Marches School 🌱
Our Eco and Gardening Clubs continue to make a positive impact on the environment. The groups are currently working on an exciting new project to create a small orchard in the green space near our eco dome.
This will also provide screening and protection for our pond, which is now home to a range of wildlife including newts and frogs 🐸
Pictured hard at work are Connor Robbins, Zak Mason and Liam Evans, taking real pride in supporting this project and caring for their environment.

🏐 Year 8 County Netball Tournament
Our Year 8 netball team travelled to Abraham Darby to compete in the County Netball Tournament.
Despite challenging weather conditions and persistent rain, the team showed real resilience and determination, playing with great spirit from start to finish. They opened their campaign with a dominant 5–0 win against Ludlow, followed by another confident 3–1 victory over Ellesmere, demonstrating strong defensive pressure and accurate shooting.
The girls also battled through two very closely contested games, earning hard fought draws against New Road, finishing 2–2, and Oswestry, in an exciting 4–4 match. Teamwork, perseverance and positive attitudes were clear in every performance.
Overall, the team achieved joint 3rd place on points with Ellesmere and finished 4th overall on goal difference, a fantastic result in tough conditions. Well done to Connie Denton, Hallie Ellis, Hattie Holmes, Cara Laing, Ida Martin, Autumn McGivern and Betsy Wilford for such a strong team effort 👏
