🏙✨ New York! New York! ✨🏙

Welcome back to all our students and families as we begin a new half-term!

During the holidays, a group of students had the incredible opportunity to take part in this year's New York Trip. From exploring the Natural History Museum to taking in the bright lights of Times Square, it was a truly unforgettable experience filled with new friendships, lasting memories and amazing sights. 🌆

There was also a special moment on the journey. Whilst travelling to New York, Cian was chatting with the cabin crew about his passion for aviation. After landing at JFK, he was invited to visit the flight deck and speak with the pilots about his aspirations. He was even given the opportunity to experience the plane landing in Upper Class! A huge thank you to Virgin Atlantic and the crew for making this such a memorable experience.✈️💕

🏅🌟 Sports Day 2026 Statistics: Records Fall as Marches Spirit Shines! 😍🎉

For the first time in recent memory, The Marches School Sports Day had to be rearranged due to the scorching hot weather and not because of rain! This decision certainly felt unusual, given our typical British weather! 🥵

The day proved to be a tremendous success. The PE staff were keen to thank all colleagues for their support and highlighted the fantastic sense of teamwork across the school, which helps make Sports Day such a special occasion every year.

There was a genuine determination from staff and students alike to ensure the day was memorable, enjoyable and filled with Marches spirit.

The Marches Sports Day is designed to celebrate sporting excellence and achievement. Throughout the year, students have many opportunities to participate in sport for enjoyment and recreation, but Sports Day provides a platform for the school's strongest athletes to showcase their talents and compete at the highest level.

⭐The standard of performance was exceptional with several long-standing school records falling. Some marks that had stood for more than three decades were finally broken!⭐

Equally impressive was the atmosphere throughout the day! Every competitor received enthusiastic support from their peers. Whether competing on the track or in field events, athletes were cheered on every step of the way, while those not competing proudly supported their year groups and houses. There was even a YMCA dance-off!

The true spirit of The Marches shone throughout the event creating a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish.

🏅 School Records Broken📊
Several long-standing school records fell during the day, with some marks that had stood for more than three decades finally being broken. Four records had stood for more than a quarter of a century!

🔥 Ronnie Bladen broke the 34-year-old Year 7 Boys' 800m record, previously set in 1992, recording a new time of 2 minutes 31.9 seconds.

🔥 Elsie Fleet broke the Year 7 Girls' Discus record with a throw of 20.76m.

🔥 Ava Walton broke the 16-year-old Year 7 Girls' Long Jump record with a jump of 4.44m.

🔥 Tor Hornett broke the 32-year-old Year 9 Boys' High Jump record, clearing 1.70m.

🔥 Meg Eyre broke the 26-year-old Year 10 Girls' Javelin record with a throw of 26.19m.

🔥 Harry Borthwick broke the 32-year-old Year 10 Boys' 800m record, setting a new mark of 2 minutes 9.53 seconds.

💙Bonington was crowned ultimate House Champions of the Year! They enjoyed an ice cream treat later that week. A huge well done to all competitors, volunteers and staff who helped make Sports Day 2026 such an unforgettable event!
