A fantastic effort from our Under 15 Girls in the County Cup Quarter Final ⚽💪

The team faced Meole Brace in an incredibly exciting and hard fought match, captained by Sophie Hancock. After a competitive 60 minutes, the game finished 3–3, with goals from Erin, Millie and Lucy.

The match was decided on penalties, where the girls narrowly missed out 4–3. A special mention goes to Hayley for an outstanding penalty save that kept the team in contention right to the very end.

The girls should be extremely proud of their teamwork, resilience and determination throughout a brilliant match 👏

Our Wave System is all about understanding, trust and the right support at the right time 🌊💙

This short animation explains how we notice, respond and support children when they need a little extra help, whether that is emotionally, socially or with learning.

Every child moves through waves differently, and our approach helps staff work together to make sure no one is missed and every child feels safe, supported and ready to learn.

Watch the video to see how the Wave System works and how we support children and families every step of the way.

Year 12 Biology students have been completing their Ecology PAG work 🌿🔬

As part of this practical investigation, students compared biodiversity in shaded and light areas around the school site, developing key fieldwork, data collection and analysis skills required for A level Biology. A great example of learning beyond the classroom and applying theory to real environments.

Year 12 students at Marches School have been exploring Commercialisation and Media as part of their A Level PE studies ⚽📚

As part of the topic, students selected a football shirt and analysed how it links to the Golden Triangle, looking at how commercialisation turns sport into a marketable commodity. This has encouraged thoughtful discussion around sport, media influence and the role of sponsorship in modern sport.

A great example of students applying theory to real world contexts and developing the analytical skills needed for further study and future careers.

Mental Health Awareness Week is a chance for all of us to pause, reflect and take action to support our mental wellbeing 💚

This year’s theme is Action, reminding us that even small steps can make a real difference. That might be checking in with someone, making time to talk, getting outside for fresh air, or asking for help when we need it.

Within our schools and communities, we are committed to creating safe, supportive environments where children, staff and families feel listened to, valued and cared for. Looking after our mental health matters just as much as our physical health, and we all have a role to play.

Take a moment this week to find one positive action that works for you and encourage others to do the same.

Find support, resources and ways to get involved by visiting Mental Health Awareness Week >mentalhealth.org.uk.

It was fantastic to see our entire Year 11 cohort together today for their first whole cohort prep session 📚✨

We have adapted our timetable to give students dedicated preparation time with subject specialists right before each exam, helping to ensure they feel as confident and supported as possible during this important period.

The focus and determination shown today were brilliant to see 👏

As we head into the weekend, we wish all our Year 11s the very best of luck. Keep up the hard work, stay focused and make the most of your revision time at home. You’ve got this 💪
