2013 has proved to be a vintage year for Marden High because  the school has gained the highest academic standards in its  history.

Headteacher, Jonathan Morris, is justifiably proud:

” No fewer than  80% of students achieved the gold standard of 5 A*-C grades including English and maths which must place us among the top ranking state schools in the north east. These are Marden’s best ever results by a considerable margin and are due to the great team work between our excellent staff and an exceptional group of students.

Our results give many causes for celebration. For example, not only have our year 11 students attained standards well above the national average, but they have also made very good progress since they joined the school in year 7. And all of this has been accomplished with a rigorous academic curriculum which gives strong preparation for A-levels and university. Schools are still analysing their figures, but we have been informed that ours are likely to be the best in North Tyneside!”
