π Results That Raise the Roof in Oswestry! π
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: βToday, we donβt just celebrate grades, we celebrate futures. Every student here has a story of success. With Open6, weβre proud to open even more doors for learners in our community.β
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 countryβs resources, develop trade links, and navigate global imports and exports.
But it wasnβt all smooth sailing - historical events like the Wall Street Crash, the eruption of Mt St Helens, and others challenged their progress throughout the game!
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 Trustβs 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. Mandyβs brave plunge will help raise vital funds to continue this work and sheβs doing it with courage (and a wetsuit!) for a cause thatβs 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! πΏπ§ββοΈ
ππ Marches Sixth Form Students Celebrate More Than Just Grades on Results Day ππ
What an incredible morning at The Marches School and Sixth Form! The air was full of excitement, proud smiles, and a few joyful tears as our Year 13 students collected their A Level and Level 3 BTEC results.
This moment isn't just about grades, itβs about the resilience, growth, and ambition shown by every single student. Whether theyβre off to Russell Group universities, specialist colleges, apprenticeships, or stepping confidently into the world of work, each pathway is a reflection of dedication, support, and aspiration.
ποΈ Sally Wilmot, Headteacher, shared: "These results are just one chapter in our students' stories. They leave us with not only qualifications, but with confidence, kindness, and a readiness to make a difference in the world. Itβs been a privilege to watch them grow."
At The Marches Sixth Form, every student is known, supported, and celebrated. Weβre proud to offer a nurturing environment where young people can explore their passions, build confidence, and shape their futures.
π¬ One student shared: βMarches has given me the space to grow, challenge myself, and discover what I really want to do. Iβve felt supported every step of the way.β
