♥️Remembrance Day 2026 ♥️

To commemorate Remembrance this year, across the past week, our school community has participated in different activities to pay their respects and pause for reflection.

Our Sixth Form students made streams of beautiful Bunting to decorate the building, detailed with poems, messages and drawings. 🌹

On 11th November itself, Year 7 students dedicated 2 lessons to create Poppies for our Shore Remembrance wreaths. This provided our younger students with time to reflect, show respect and strengthen their sense of belonging to both The Shore and our wider community. Throughout the events on Remembrance Day, Year 7 were exceptional throughout the event. They demonstrated maturity, respect, and pride in their work, and represented Year 7 brilliantly.

Following our whole-school two-minute silence, all of Year 7 came together in The Shore to lay the wreaths.

Mr Collier played the Last Post, creating a respectful and thoughtful atmosphere for reflection and remembrance.

However you chose to commemorate this time, we hope that it was meaningful and brought moments of reflection and peace. Lest We Forget. ✨

🏆🏐 Year 8 North Shropshire Netball Champions! 🏐🏆

Before half-term, The Marches School proudly hosted the Year 8 North Shropshire Netball Tournament, with challenging windy conditions putting every team to the test.

Our squad of nine players produced an outstanding series of performances throughout the day, dominating the group stage with impressive victories over St Martins, Corbet and SJT to progress confidently to the knockout rounds.

The semi-final against Ellesmere College proved a much tougher contest, but the girls showed great determination and quality to secure an excellent 5-0 victory and book their place in the final.

Awaiting them was a strong Oswestry School side, and the final proved to be a fantastic advert for school netball. After a closely contested match finished 3-3 at full time and 4-4 after extra time, the captains agreed to share the title rather than play on. A fitting conclusion to an excellent tournament, with both teams proving evenly matched throughout the final.

Congratulations to all nine players for their commitment, teamwork and outstanding performances. Sharing the North Shropshire title was a well-deserved reward for a superb day of netball! 👏🏆

🚑⛑️ Sixth Form PSHE: First Aid Session ⛑️🚑

Just before half-term, our Year 12 students had the privilege of taking part in a first aid session delivered by former student James Watson, who is currently studying Paramedic Science at Staffordshire University.

The session provided students with valuable first aid knowledge and practical skills, helping them to understand how to respond confidently in emergency situations. It was fantastic for our students to learn from a former Marches student and hear about his journey from school to university.

A huge thank you to James for giving up his time to support our Sixth Form students and share his expertise and experiences. We wish him every success with his studies and future career. 👏
