πŸ“Έβœ¨ We had the pleasure of welcoming 7K5 into their very first Photography lesson at Marches School!

The group were wonderfully engaged, curious, and creative as they began their journey with us in Photography. It’s exciting to see their enthusiasm shine through, and we can’t wait to watch their skills and confidence grow over the year.

πŸŽ‰ Results That Raise the Roof in Oswestry! πŸŽ‰

The Marches School is buzzing with celebration today as our students mark an unforgettable results day filled with pride, joy, and big dreams for the future!

Despite the ongoing financial challenges faced by schools especially in rural areas like Shropshire our students have proven that hard work, great teaching, and community support can break barriers and build futures.

We're especially proud of our students who speak English as an additional language, many have exceeded national averages in key subjects. Incredible work!

Whether heading to university, starting apprenticeships, launching careers, or joining our own Sixth Form, our students are stepping into their next chapters with confidence and purpose.

And this year brings something new and exciting: Open6 launches this September - our flexible, hybrid learning programme giving students even more choice on how and what they study, online or in person!

Headteacher Sally Wilmot said: β€œToday, we don’t just celebrate grades, we celebrate futures. Every student here has a story of success. With Open6, we’re proud to open even more doors for learners in our community.”

Shout-out to some of our achievers:

⭐ Joseph Beard – 2x Grade 9s, 6x Grade 8s, 1x Grade 7

⭐ Ava Dzhorgova – 5x Grade 9s, 4x Grade 8s

⭐ Theo Addison – 5x Grade 9s, 4x Grade 8s, 1x Grade 7

⭐ Lucas Haralambous – 6x Grade 9s, 1x Grade 8, 1x Grade 7

πŸ“… Join us for our Open Evening on Thursday 18th September 2025 to see what makes The Marches School the place where futures begin.

9K1 Take on The Trade Game!

9K1 took part in an exciting double lesson of The Trade Game combining both Geography and History to put their knowledge and teamwork to the test!

Students represented countries as either HICs (High-Income Countries) or LICs (Low-Income Countries) and worked in teams to use their country’s resources, develop trade links, and navigate global imports and exports.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing - historical events like the Wall Street Crash, the eruption of Mt St Helens, and others challenged their progress throughout the game!

She’s diving in for a great cause! πŸ’™πŸ¦ˆ

On 30th August, Mandy Jones, a proud member of the Marches Academy Trust Executive Team, will be taking on an incredible shark dive, all to raise money for our Trust’s charity, the 4 All Foundation.

The 4 All Foundation supports children and young people across all our schools, funding opportunities, experiences and support that go beyond the classroom. Mandy’s brave plunge will help raise vital funds to continue this work and she’s doing it with courage (and a wetsuit!) for a cause that’s close to all our hearts.

Inspired by nature and folklore artists, our talented Year 7 students have created stunning mixed media Woodland Sprites!

Starting with their own nature photography, students hand-drew their magical creatures, then scanned and digitally enhanced them using advanced skills in Photopea, adding colour, tone, and placing them into atmospheric woodland scenes. A wonderful blend of traditional drawing and digital creativity! πŸŒΏπŸ§šβ€β™‚οΈ
