🌟 What a Fantastic First Month Back! 🌟
It’s hard to believe we’re already a month into the new school year, and what a brilliant start it has been!
Members of our Leadership Team enjoyed visiting local primary schools to share what makes our school such a special place and to invite pupils to consider joining us for the next stage of their educational journey.
We were also thrilled to welcome over 500 families to our Open Evening, showcasing the fantastic opportunities available to our students.
The month has been packed with excitement, from engaging science shows and action-packed sporting events to the launch of new clubs and enrichment activities. There has been something for everyone to enjoy!
Most importantly, it has been wonderful to see students settling into their new Crews, building friendships, supporting one another and embracing our strong school community. Classrooms have been buzzing with enthusiasm, curiosity and a real love of learning.
A huge thank you to our students, staff and families for helping to make the start of this academic year such a positive and memorable one. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring! ✨

🌟🌱 Double Gold Success at the Oswestry in Bloom Awards! 🌱🌟
We are delighted to share that, for the second year running, The Marches School Gardening Club has not only achieved Gold, but has once again been declared the outright winner of the Schools Category at this year's Oswestry in Bloom Awards! 🏆
Adding to this fantastic achievement, we also secured the Young Gardener of the Year Award for the second consecutive year. A special congratulations goes to Connor Robbins, last year's Young Gardener of the Year, and Zak Mason, this year's deserving winner. Both students have been key members of the Gardening Club, playing leading roles in its continued growth, success and development.
Pictured representing the school at the awards evening is Zak Mason and Mr Hopley.
