Our Year 12 students are excited to share what they have been reading this January as we celebrate the National Year of Reading. From gripping fiction to thought provoking non fiction, there is plenty of great reading taking place across Sixth Form.

We would love to know what you are reading at the moment. Are you enjoying any of the same books as our students?

Let us know in the comments.

📖✨ Revision Technique #2: Flashcards ✨📖

Looking for a quick and effective way to test your knowledge? Flashcards are a fantastic tool to make your revision active and engaging!

Here’s how to use them:
1️⃣ Create Your Flashcards: Write a question or key term on one side and the answer or definition on the other.
2️⃣ Test Yourself: Go through your flashcards, trying to recall the answer before flipping them over.
3️⃣ Sort and Repeat: Separate cards into two piles - ones you got right and ones you need to revisit. Focus more on the tricky ones.

Why it works:
🔸 Testing yourself helps strengthen your memory.
🔸 Identifies what you know and what needs more work.
🔸 Quick and portable - study anywhere!

💡 Pro Tip: Use images, colours, or mnemonics on your flashcards to make them more memorable.

Start creating your flashcards today and boost your revision!

🎓 Think bigger with Open6 - your Sixth Form, your way ✨

Stay at your local Sixth Form with your friends and teachers, then pick the subjects that suit you across our Trust. Specialist courses use smart hybrid learning with recorded teacher audio and whiteboard, plus weekly face-to-face subject seminars for extra support and discussion.

Your timetable blends on-site lessons, supported hybrid sessions and independent study so you can focus on what matters most.

The result is powerful: independence, digital literacy, resilience and confidence that set you up for uni, apprenticeships and future careers.

Myth: Students prefer only face-to-face learning.
Truth: Our pilot students love the flexibility and the weekly seminars.

Ready to shape your path with more choice, more flexibility and stronger support? It's not too late to apply for September 2026!

🚀 Find out more at marchesschool.co.uk or contact admin@mar.mmat.co.uk for more information or to arrange a tour.

We would love to reconnect with our Sixth Form alumni and we need your help 😊

We are looking for case studies and stories from former students who have completed Sixth Form and moved into work or employment. Your journey could inspire and support our current students as they explore their own next steps.

If you are happy to share your story or would like to get involved, please contact our Leader of Sixth Form, Vicki Boy, at Vicki.boy@mar.mmat.co.uk. We would be delighted to hear from you.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 13 students and the exciting next steps they are preparing to take 🎓

This year, 78 of our Sixth Formers have applied for university places, choosing a fantastic range of courses including physiotherapy, midwifery, neuroscience, maths and physics, and international relations.

Many of our students are already holding five offers, which is an amazing achievement and a real reflection of their hard work and ambition.

We are delighted to see them aiming high and exploring such inspiring future pathways.

Well done to all our applicants. We cannot wait to see what you achieve next.
