Wednesday 25th May is WIG WEDNESDAY at Marden High School. All Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students are encouraged to wear a wig to school, for just a £1 donation, to raise money for CLIC SARGENT, a charity which cares for children with cancer.
There will also be a quiz, and it is also a non-uniform day. Please click the image for more details on this great charity, and start planning your head-wear!
From Aztec temples and Pagan ruins to Stupas, Churches and Mosques, Year 7 have pulled out all of the stops with their Independent Study this week. We’ve had everything from buildings, cakes, models crafted on Minecraft, as well as beautifully presented written work and presentations. The RE department couldn’t be prouder!
Please read this letter for information about arrangements for the move into our new building in September. Thank you.
The U13 boys football team notched their fourth win in a row, smashing seven past Monkseaton Middle School and confirming their qualification for the play-off semi finals.
They took the lead in the first minute when Josh Harrison’s right wing crossed was turned in for an own goal. The second arrived soon after from the penalty spot when Connor Brown was brought down, Peter Whitehouse confidently dispatching the spot kick.
Marden kept up the pressure, winning a succession of corners, and it was 3-0 by half time when a dangerous set piece wasn’t cleared and Connor Brown volleyed home with a neat finish.
A fourth was added early in the second half when Josh Harrison beat the offside trap to slot under the impressive Monkseaton goalkeeper, who pulled off a string of good saves to keep the score down. The away team’s quality however was confirmed by a late flurry of goals, defender Cameron Balloch heading home at the back post from another corner for the fifth.
Second half substitute Jaden Bell impressed in a right wing role when he came on, and added two late goals, the first when good footwork from Peter Whitehouse resulted in the loose ball falling in his path. The seventh and final goal came from a deep Connor Brown cross from the left, Jaden pouncing to slot home.
The game marked a remarkable turnaround for the Year 8 team, who have finished in second place in their league after six games, despite losing the first two games of the season last term. They have a cup quarter final against George Stephenson coming up on Thursday. Well done all who took part.
TEAM: Owen Foster, Harvey Gates, Adam Dunn, Cameron Balloch, Tom Lea, Jared Robson (captain), Harry Perkins, Connor Brown, Peter Whitehouse, Owen Kennedy, Josh Harrison. SUBS: Jaden Bell, Jonny Jordan.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Jared Robson
2016 marks the tenth year of BBC News School Report day, and Marden High School have been there since the very beginning.
Back in 2007 we broadcast live on BBC Breakfast, in 2014 BBC Look North reported live from our Media Studio and this year we were lucky enough to chat to BBC weather reporter Carol Kirkwood about our current reports.
Here’s our final reports from our Year 8 team, presented by anchors Connor, Jessica, Harvey and Kate.

We’re all done here, reports are online and our anchors are just filming their introductions so we can tie it all together.
