🎶The Marches Shine at Shropshire Sings!🎶

A huge well done to the Marches students, who were fantastic at the Shropshire Sings Big Sing event at West Midlands Showground in June.

They performed with beautiful vocals and wowed the audience with some truly brilliant choreography, a perfect combination of talent, teamwork, and stage presence.🎤

We’re incredibly proud of each and every one of you. What a performance!

Not every student follows the same path after sixth form, and that's exactly why exploring your options is so important.

One former student chose a different route after completing her A Levels, starting a law apprenticeship rather than going to university full time. While studying one day a week from home, they spend the rest of their time gaining valuable real-world experience in a legal office.

Studying at sixth form provided the opportunity to develop independence, keep future options open and explore different career pathways. Through researching the choices available after Year 13, they discovered that an apprenticeship offered the perfect combination of academic study and practical experience.

Today, Lily is part of a six-year solicitor apprenticeship programme and are on track to achieve an LLB (Hons) degree and qualify as a solicitor by 2029, all while earning a salary and avoiding student debt. Along the way, they have gained extensive experience, including attending court, working in family law and developing valuable professional skills in a supportive workplace environment.

Her journey is a great reminder that there is no single "right" route after sixth form. Whether it's university, an apprenticeship, employment or another pathway, the best choice is the one that matches your ambitions, interests and goals.

At Marches Sixth Form, we support every student to find the pathway that is right for them and help them take confident next steps towards their future.

🚀 7K3 put their engineering and scientific skills to the test today by designing, building and launching their very own water rockets!

There were some incredible launches, lots of excitement and plenty of learning about forces, air pressure and rocket design. One rocket even made it all the way onto the school roof, proving just how successful the challenge was! 😄

Hands-on activities like this help bring science to life, encouraging creativity, problem-solving and teamwork while making learning fun.

🌈 Celebrating Pride at Marches School 🌈

This month, our students have been learning about Pride and the importance of kindness, respect and inclusion. They explored ways to support one another so that everyone feels valued and able to be themselves.

To bring their learning to life, students filled our outdoor spaces with colourful rainbow chalk messages, including “Be yourself” and “Everyone belongs”. Their creativity and positivity were wonderful to see.

Our canteen also joined the celebrations with delicious rainbow-themed cupcakes, while the library marked Pride Month with a vibrant display of books celebrating LGBTQ+ voices, stories and history. From inspiring fiction to thought-provoking non-fiction, the collection encourages students to explore different perspectives and promotes understanding, empathy and inclusion.
