Prizes Win Points!

By J Ranson15th September 2017

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!

Year 11 Information Evening

By D Bailey13th September 2017

On Tuesday 19th September we will be welcoming parents and carers of Year 11 to an Information Evening in the Auditorium. There will be a brief presentation from myself and the Head of Year, Mr Scott, followed by a series of three workshops on how best students can prepare for exams in this important year and how parents can best support them. This will be an important evening as we work closely together, school and home, to get the best for our children.

I hope to see you there.

Mr. Snape.

Congratulations Class of 2017!

By J Ranson24th August 2017

Well done to the Class of 2017 for outstanding exam results this year. GCSE results at Marden continue to rise…

  • Significantly positive value added

  • 81% English and maths combined

  • 81% 5 A* – C including English and maths

  • 86% A* – C grades

“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!

One of the best in the North East

By D Bailey17th August 2017

Following our successful OFSTED inspection at the end of last term, we are pleased to see that Marden rates as one of the best schools in the North East according to the Real Schools Guide published this month. This is an important guide as it takes into account more than just our good exam results, focusing also on some of those additional elements that parents are looking for in a school such as attendance, pupil-teacher ratios, and parental satisfaction. Here’s a link to the article.

OFSTED Inspection

By D Bailey21st July 2017

As you are no doubt aware, on Wednesday 5th July, we were visited by OFSTED. They have now concluded their findings, and as you can see below, the report is very positive and recognises and celebrates the great things that go on at Marden High School.

Every day I see the wonderful endeavours and achievements of our students and staff, and to have public recognition of this from such a rigorous inspection process should give us all a sense of pride in the community that is Marden.

I hope you enjoy reading it and I wish you all a pleasant summer and look forward to seeing everybody in September.
