This Mother’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognise all the love, care and support that surrounds our children in so many different ways.

Today is a celebration of mums, step‑mums, grandmas, carers, aunties and all the special people who nurture, encourage and champion our children every day. We also hold space for those for whom today may feel difficult, including anyone missing a mum, those who wish to be mums, or families who mark today in their own quiet way.

To every family in our school community, thank you for the kindness, patience and love you give 🌷

The Year 10 squad travelled to Wrekin College to compete in the Trophy competition following last year’s Plate victory.

Facing tougher opposition, the Marches girls rose to the challenge and produced several strong performances throughout the tournament. A highlight of the day was a well earned 5–3 win against Abraham Darby, showing great determination and control. They also played an excellent match against a strong Ellesmere side, narrowly losing 9–16 in one of the most exciting games of the day, with end to end play and impressive teamwork on show 🏐

Our Year 10 Spanish students put their language skills into action with a hands on panqueques cooking lesson 🥞

Following ingredients and step by step instructions entirely in Spanish, the classroom was transformed into a lively kitchen full of teamwork, delicious aromas and plenty of laughter. This practical session helped strengthen vocabulary, build confidence and gave students a real taste of Spanish learning in action.

Who doesn’t love Lego, apart from when you step on it with a bare foot! 🧱

Crew time Fun Fridays continued with lots of creativity as our children got stuck into building with Lego. There were some fantastic ideas on show, plenty of teamwork, and even a competition to see who could build the longest necked giraffe.

A brilliant way to end the week, encouraging imagination, problem solving and lots of smiles.

📝💡 Revision Technique #8: Self-Quizzing 💡📝

Want to test how well you really know a topic? Self-Quizzing is a powerful and active way to reinforce your learning and build confidence for your exams!

Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Create Your Own Questions: After revising a topic, write down a list of questions based on the key points.
2️⃣ Test Yourself: Try to answer the questions without looking at your notes or textbooks.
3️⃣ Check Your Answers: After quizzing yourself, compare your answers with your notes and identify areas that need more work.

Why it works:
🔸 Actively recalling information helps strengthen your memory.
🔸 Shows you exactly what you know and what needs more attention.
🔸 Improves exam technique and helps you feel more prepared.

💡 Pro Tip: Use online quiz tools or flashcard apps to make self-quizzing even easier and more interactive!

Give self-quizzing a go this week and boost your confidence!
