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 💪

🌱 Growing a Greener Future at Marches School 🌱

Our Eco and Gardening Clubs continue to make a positive impact on the environment. The groups are currently working on an exciting new project to create a small orchard in the green space near our eco dome.

This will also provide screening and protection for our pond, which is now home to a range of wildlife including newts and frogs 🐸

Pictured hard at work are Connor Robbins, Zak Mason and Liam Evans, taking real pride in supporting this project and caring for their environment.

🏐 Year 8 County Netball Tournament

Our Year 8 netball team travelled to Abraham Darby to compete in the County Netball Tournament.

Despite challenging weather conditions and persistent rain, the team showed real resilience and determination, playing with great spirit from start to finish. They opened their campaign with a dominant 5–0 win against Ludlow, followed by another confident 3–1 victory over Ellesmere, demonstrating strong defensive pressure and accurate shooting.

The girls also battled through two very closely contested games, earning hard fought draws against New Road, finishing 2–2, and Oswestry, in an exciting 4–4 match. Teamwork, perseverance and positive attitudes were clear in every performance.

Overall, the team achieved joint 3rd place on points with Ellesmere and finished 4th overall on goal difference, a fantastic result in tough conditions. Well done to Connie Denton, Hallie Ellis, Hattie Holmes, Cara Laing, Ida Martin, Autumn McGivern and Betsy Wilford for such a strong team effort 👏
