Good to see the demountables have had a lick of paint. 😁

✨The Marches School is proud to announce that our students have achieved exceptional results in this year's GCSE exams, reflecting the school’s commitment to academic excellence and student success.✨

Sally Wilmot, Head of School at The Marches School, expressed her pride, saying, "These results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, who have overcome many challenges to achieve such fantastic outcomes. I am immensely proud of each student and the progress they have made.

Our success, however, is not just measured by these outstanding grades. At the Marches, we believe that every member of our school family plays a vital role in our collective achievement. From the teachers who go above and beyond in nurturing our students' potential, to the support staff who ensure that our school runs smoothly, to the parents and guardians who provide invaluable encouragement at home—every contribution is crucial and deeply valued.

We are particularly proud of the progress made by all our students, regardless of their starting points. Our focus has always been on providing a supportive, inclusive environment where every individual is encouraged to strive for their personal best. Whether a student is celebrating a string of top grades or has worked hard to achieve results that reflect their full potential, we celebrate each success as a victory.

Our staff have played a crucial role in this success, providing unwavering support and guidance throughout their academic journey. We are confident that our students are well-prepared for the next phase of their education and future careers."
As we look forward to the future, we remain committed to ensuring that The Marches School continues to be a place where every student feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve their very best.

🎨✨ Inspired by the iconic works of Banksy and Andy Warhol, our talented Year 9 students have truly outdone themselves!

They've channelled their creativity into stunning spray paint masterpieces, with some even adding a unique twist by skilfully embroidering their pieces.

The results are nothing short of amazing! Great job, Year 9!

✨Marches Sixth Form Celebrates Continued Success in A-Level Results✨

Marches Sixth Form is delighted to announce another year of significant progress in our A-Level results. This year's achievements reflect the hard work, dedication, and resilience of our students and staff, even in the face of challenges. We are incredibly proud of our students' accomplishments and look forward to their bright futures as they embark on the next steps in their academic and professional journeys.

Many of our students have secured places at universities across the country, Ben Rothera has secured a place to study veterinary science at the University of Liverpool, Isabelle McGuinness and Evie Bowen both will be studying Medicine. Annie Squire and Sophie Goodes will start their university journey at Cambridge studying Geography and Economics. Outstanding performances at BTEC were Chloe Rolls and Olivia Thompson both securing Distinctions and both will be going to University in September. Many others have chosen to pursue apprenticeships or employment. Our top performing students are Sophie who achieved an incredible four A* grades and Fergus who achieved three A* grades and who will be studying Computer Science at University of Manchester. Whatever path they have chosen, we are confident that the skills, knowledge, and values they have developed at Marches Sixth Form will serve them well in the future. We are immensely proud of them all.

Sally Wilmot, Head of School, expressed her pride in the students' achievements, saying, "Our students have shown incredible resilience and determination throughout their time at Marches Sixth Form, and this year's A-Level results are a testament to their hard work and commitment. This is the last group of students whose GCSE results were affected by the pandemic. I am immensely proud of what they have achieved, and I know they will continue to excel as they move on to the next stage of their lives. We wish them all the very best and look forward to hearing about their future successes.”

As a school community, we remain committed to supporting our students in achieving their full potential. We celebrate their successes today and look forward to continuing this positive trend in the years to come.
