🏐 An incredible achievement for our Year 7 netball team

Our Year 7 players travelled to the Shropshire County Netball Tournament, joining schools from across the county for a highly competitive day of fixtures. The standard of play was exceptionally high, and our team rose to the challenge brilliantly.

During the pool stage, the team showed determination, teamwork and real tactical awareness. Across six matches they secured four impressive wins, with standout performances against The Priory, Shrewsbury High School, Haberdashers’ Abraham Darby and Ercall Wood. Their confidence and composure under pressure truly shone through.

After progressing to the final, the team faced local rivals Oswestry School in a fast paced and closely fought match. With focus and energy from start to finish, our players secured a fantastic 4–2 win to lift the Shropshire County Plate 👏

This success sits proudly alongside their North Shropshire title, marking a brilliant season for the team. Every player contributed with skill, resilience and excellent sportsmanship. A huge well done to all involved 🌟

🎉 What a fantastic afternoon at our Sixth Form Fancy Dress Fun Run

Students and staff took to the Astro for a short but very fun run, all in the spirit of getting involved and having a great time together. The atmosphere was brilliant, with a huge highlight being the fantastic performance from Franki Porter and Lucy Hawley, which really lifted the event 🎶

We are pleased to say that money was raised for Lingen Davies Cancer Support, making it a fun afternoon with a really meaningful outcome ❤️

⚽ An exciting leadership opportunity for students at The Marches School

We’re pleased to be sharing a great opportunity for Marches students to become young football coaches at Morda Primary School.

This role gives students the chance to support and help lead their football club sessions, while developing confidence, leadership, coaching and communication skills along the way. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to gain experience working with younger pupils and make a real difference through sport.

Opportunities like this are a fantastic way for our students to build skills for the future while giving back to their local community 👏

🧮 Pi Day fun at The Marches School

Students from Year 8 through to Year 13 put their memories to the test in a Pi memorisation competition, and the standard was incredibly high across all year groups.

A huge well done to Eren Drury in Year 13, who broke last year’s record by remembering an impressive 177 decimal places of pi 👏

To celebrate everyone’s brilliant effort, students enjoyed a slice of pi themed cake baked by Ms Hindle, the perfect way to round off a fun and challenging event 🍰
