🥾 Sixth Form Adventure at Tickwood! 🌿
Some of our Year 12 students recently travelled to Tickwood in Much Wenlock for an exciting enrichment activity alongside students from other schools across the Trust.
This fantastic day included an 8-mile hike and a range of bushcraft activities, giving students the opportunity to challenge themselves, develop new skills and enjoy the great outdoors. The experience focused on personal development, wellbeing, teamwork and building connections across the Open 6 community.
Well done to all involved for embracing the challenge and making the most of this memorable experience! 👏

🌟 Former Student Spotlight: Celebrating Becky's Success! 🌟
We're delighted to celebrate the success of former Marches student Becky, who left the school 10 years ago and is now making waves in a national competition for a well-known crisp brand!
Becky's creative flavour idea has earned her a place in the final two, with her face even appearing on the back of the crisp packets. Along the way, she has enjoyed some fantastic opportunities, including filming content with TikTok influencer Moyo, who has over 3 million followers, appearing on BBC Radio Shropshire to discuss her inspirations and ideas, and even dressing as a chilli to add a little fun to the campaign! 🌶️🧀
She also had the chance to visit the crisp factory in Leicester, seeing her flavour brought to life and meeting chef Phil Vickery, where filming also took place for ITV.
It's wonderful to see former students pursuing their passions and embracing exciting opportunities. Becky, we're incredibly proud of all you've achieved and wish you the very best in the final! 👏

🌟 Year 7 Futures Day 🌟
As part of our Year 7 Futures Day, students recently took part in a Belonging Workshop, exploring what it means to feel included, valued and connected within their Crew.
Through a range of engaging activities, students reflected on the importance of respect, teamwork and celebrating the unique strengths that each individual brings. As part of the workshop, every Crew designed and began creating their own bench, representing their identity, values and sense of community.
These benches will become lasting reminders across our school that everybody matters and everybody belongs. 💙
