The Parent-Teacher Association are organising a spooky themed Quiz Night on Friday 13 October. Buy tickets from reception! Details below.
Following on from last term’s ‘Work of the Week’, curriculum leaders have once again put forward a selection of superb submissions which continue to reflect the excellent work going on across all areas and all year groups.
Congratulations to Jacob, Poppy, Mary Jo and Elise from Year 7; Nathan and Sam from Year 8; Jasmine, Callum and Tom from Year 10; and Jude and Megan from Year 11 for their excellent work this week.
Calling all students! Here is a great opportunity to win some House points and prizes for your form.
Starting on Monday we will be holding a challenge in school over the next few weeks and it would be great if you would like to take part.
We would like you to bring in either some sweets or some chocolate that we can use as prizes at our fundraising events.
For each donation that you make we will award you 1 House Point, so the more you bring the more points you earn for your house.
There will be a prize for the form that brings in the most.
The winning form will be announced on Monday 9th October.
Good luck everyone!

“There have been many happy faces in school this morning as our Class of 2017 have been in to collect their results. They have done very well and it is pleasing to see that outcomes for our students have continued to rise this year in spite of the standards bar being raised and GCSEs being designed to be more difficult.
These results are a great testament to the hard work and commitment of our wonderful students and staff. We are immensely proud of them all” – Mr M Snape, Headteacher
Well done Class of 2017!
Year 7 student Matthew Hood is an expert BMX rider, and recently took part in a number of competitions. After several medals for the U10 and U11 Novice categories, his latest medals and most recent two trophies were in the U12 Expert category.
Here are some photos of his awards and him in action in Preston and Braintree. Well done Matthew!
The next meeting of our Parent-Teacher Association will be on Thursday 14 September at 6:30pm in the LRC. On behalf of everyone at Marden we hope all our parents, carers and students have a great summer.
Thank you.
On Monday and Tuesday, Marden students enjoyed a variety of exciting activities. As well as trips to Lightwater Valley, there were quizzes, singing competitions, film screenings, sports activities, and as you can see from these pictures, Marden’s Great British Bake Off and a Year 7 and Year 8 trip to the Procter and Gamble offices!
A reminder that students will break up for the summer holidays this Friday at the earlier time of 1:30pm.
Thank you.
