Year 10 students last week visited Northumbria University and took part in a Fashion and Textiles workshop with TICE (This Is Creative Enterprise). View the gallery for some photos of the three day event, and click the link here for more details.
Marden High School have this week been hosting a ‘Prayer Space In Schools’ event.
All KS3 students have been given the opportunity to use the space to slow down, have time for reflection and be creative in thinking about themselves and some of the challenges they and others face.
They have been asking big questions and taking part in a number of individual and group activities in order to explore their spiritual side.

In March, five students took part in the event “The Great Languages Bake Off” combining their language, cooking and filmmaking skills. After making a video of themselves creating a dish, in this case an Apfelstrudel and Gateau au chocolat, they went to Sunderland University where they had to give a presentation in front of all the other students taking part.
They were met by the lovely student ambassador Sarah who showed them around and gave them drinks and cake as well as telling them what student life was like. The students did brilliantly with their videos and presentations and had a great time visiting the university.
On Saturday, nine Year 10 GCSE Computer Science students visited Hewlett Packard to compete in Codewars 2016.
They had 23 problems set and they had to work together as 3 teams to code solutions, competing against different schools from the North East.
