In 9DOR Crew time, students took on a very important challenge… can you actually tell the difference between boxed and bagged Maltesers, and which is better? 🤔

The verdict is in… yes, you can tell the difference, and with around 75% of the vote, boxed Maltesers came out on top 🍫

Now we want to hear from you… which do you prefer?

Congratulations to Team Marches 👏

We are delighted to share that five of our students represented the Marches School at the Shropshire Schools County Championships on Saturday. This is a fantastic achievement in itself, and we are incredibly proud of their performance and determination.

Even more impressively, every student secured a medal position and has been selected to compete at the prestigious Mason Trophy Inter-County Athletics Meet next weekend in Stoke-on-Trent. We wish them all the very best of luck as they take on this exciting next stage.

Students have progressed in the following events:
Meg Eyre – Javelin and Pole Vault
Bea Hitchins – 300m
Tor Hornett – High Jump and 300m Hurdles
Fin Jones – 3000m
Ellie Eyre – Hammer and Shot Put

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you and look forward to cheering you on next weekend 👏

Our Directors recently spent time meeting with children to hear first-hand about their experiences in lessons.

These conversations are incredibly valuable, giving us a real insight into classroom life through the eyes of our children and helping us understand what is making the biggest impact on their learning.

By listening carefully to student voice, we can continue to shape and improve our teaching and environment, ensuring we provide the very best learning experience for every child.

Thank you to all of the children who shared their thoughts so openly and thoughtfully – your voice truly matters 👏

Our Year 10 children have been exploring chemistry in action, mixing acids and alkalis to create a neutral solution 🧪

Through this practical investigation, they’ve developed their understanding of key scientific concepts such as the pH scale, chemical reactions and how substances can be changed through neutralisation.

Hands-on learning like this helps build critical thinking, problem-solving skills and confidence in applying knowledge to real-life situations, as well as reinforcing safe laboratory techniques and accurate observation skills.

A fantastic example of science coming to life in the classroom and inspiring curiosity about the world around us ✨

Through this project, they’ve developed a strong understanding of composition, pattern and perspective, producing some fantastic images that really bring our environment to life.

A special shoutout to 9K1 for their creativity and attention to detail – we are so proud of what you have achieved 👏
