Well done Hayley!
The Year 8 boys football team were taught a tough footballing lesson away to Valley Gardens last night, on the full size 3g pitch, going down 7-0. It was a valiant effort though from the bare eleven players who turned up, Laurie Robson ably deputising in goal to keep the score down. Well done to all for the commitment on show, hopefully chances will come to avenge this defeat after the Christmas break.
Thanks once again to everyone who attended our Awards Evening last week, in which we celebrated the achievements of last year’s Year 11 leavers, who recorded the BEST EVER GCSE results in the history of North Tyneside.
Year 6 students from Cullercoats Primary School enjoyed their first visit to Marden on Friday, taking part in Maths lessons before visiting the Cafe and LRC.
Hi, my name is Caitlin McPartlan; I’m in year 9 and my mum has a neurological condition called Chiari Malformation…
After campaigning to do a fundraiser for nearly a year, finally, it had happened! Marden did a non-uniform day to raise money for the Ann Conroy Trust.
To do this I had to first, go through the people on the school cabinet and explain to them what the Ann Conroy Trust is and how it helps people with Chiari. When I had convinced the Cabinet to support me, the hardest part still wasn’t over. I had to convince the rest of the school to help too. This meant talking in assembly to years 7 & 8 then 9 & 10 and then year 11. This was really hard because public speaking isn’t what I’m best at. I hate speaking in front of people but I knew if I didn’t do it one of the teachers would speak and not do the charity justice.
Ethan and James interviewed Father Adrian of St. George’s Church in Cullercoats about plans to restore their 1st World War memorial, as we approach the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1.
