On Tuesday at 11am, Marden paid tribute to the fallen soldiers of all conflicts since the start of World War One.
Year 11 students Benny and Calum played The Last Post, and a live webcam was set up in reception so that the rest of the school could reflect and pay their tributes on Armistice Day, as seen in this video.
A great double header of football took place on a cold night on Thursday, with both a Year 8 A team and B team travelling to St. Thomas More for simultaneous matches. Although the A team were soundly beaten 6-0, Year 8 B team won their game 1-0 thanks to a first half strike from Dan Mitchell. Well done to all who took part!

Cullercoats Primary School visited Marden before half term for a taster day, and produced some great work in an Art lesson, inspired by the work of John Coatsworth.
Students and staff wore jeans in school today for a non-uniform day to raise awareness for the ‘Jeans for Genes’ campaign.
Our running total so far is £723.73. Well done to all our fundraisers!
The U16 boys continued their impressive campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St. Thomas More at home on Thursday night, making it three wins out of three for the season.
Good work from Josh Thewlis forced the only goal in the first half, but they were made to sweat right until the end, with the away side hitting the woodwork and also having a late penalty expertly saved by Marden goalkeeper James Straughan (see clip below)
Congratulations to everyone who played their part.
Only a few weeks away from Armistice Day, we’d like to take the opportunity to invite members of the public, parents, carers, neighbours and friends to our special Community Memory Day, as part of an ambitious Key Stage 3 project.
We are researching the lives of Cullercoats residents who fought in World War One, see our attached poster for more information or click this link to go to our specially dedicated page.
