Marden students wore red to school on Friday 21 October to raise awareness for Show Racism The Red Card, and each donated £1 to unite against racism and discrimination. Overall, £694.86 was raised. Thanks to all who took part.
Please note that the school is closed for staff training on Monday 31 October, so we look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday 1 November.
Please read this letter from the Head and in the meantime we wish all students, parents and carers an enjoyable half term.
As part of an Applied Studies course, Year 10 students chose the mental health charity MIND and have spent this term planning ways to raise money for that charity.
This culminated in Marden’s Mindful Tuck Shop, as they sold sweets during break time and raised a massive £116.24!
Well done to all who took part.
