This morning, Year 9 students took part in a careers fair which took on a ‘Speed Dating’ theme, as they participated in carousel activities in which they had the opportunity to listen to talks from various employers, and ask them questions about career prospects.
Many thanks to all the employers who took their time to visit the school and talk to the students.
A reminder to all students, parents and carers that at Marden we use Global Bridge, a revolutionary digital learner profile platform built by teachers, empowering young people to showcase their full potential beyond exam grades, and connect with future career and education opportunities.

Equinor are running taster days at Dogger Bank Operations Base in August to try to meet some of the work experience need for local young people. They are running on 15 and 27 August for 14 – 19 year olds. If you can get to the Port of Tyne gates, we will then bus you up to the base, do a vessel tour and lunch onboard, meet engineers and various roles at the wind farm and have a go on a test rig, something that is often used on assessment days for apprenticeships.
We have 15 places each day.

Yesterday, Year 10 students working with The Girls Network participated in a workshop on Personal Branding, where students reflected and considered their own strengths and skills, and developed their ‘personal brand’.
This workshop will help them prepare for work experience later this term, as well as future applications and interviews for employment and education opportunities.
This session is part of the wider work that the students are doing with The Girl’s Network around careers and their professional futures!
