๐จ๐ธ Year 10 Art and Photography Trip to Oswestry Town Centre! ๐
Weโre thrilled to share that our Year 10 students had a fantastic time on their recent walk around Oswestry Town Centre, gathering inspiration for their colour project. They focused on various themes, including macro shots of nature in the park, exploring local architecture, and capturing the vibrant market stalls.
Mrs. Proctor was particularly impressed with the students' engagement as they took thoughtful photographs and created beautiful observational drawings. The visit to the Willow Art Gallery was a highlight, sparking even more creativity and ideas for their projects.
Well done to all involved! We can't wait to see how this experience influences your work! ๐โจ
The PE department was thrilled to award 56 Year 10 students with their sports ties! These prestigious awards recognize three years of dedication to representing The Marches School in sports, showcasing outstanding commitment to training, along with exemplary behaviour in Years 7, 8, and 9.

๐ Connecting Through Experience at The Shore! ๐ค
On Friday, September 27th, our KS4 Student Leadership Team visited The Shore to gather feedback from students about their experiences at The Marches School. They had meaningful conversations that allowed students to share their thoughts and feelings about their journey so far.

Thank you to all the students for sharing their insights! ๐
