Tuesday 13 September marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Roald Dahl, and here at Marden we are celebrating that with themed posters and activities round school, as well as having a dedicated English lesson to his work for all year groups.
Here, some of our teachers read passages from their favourite books:

Marden High School is celebrating another set of fantastic GCSE results this summer. They are amongst the best results the school has ever achieved with 78% of students achieving A* – C passes in both English and Maths.
This year 85% of students achieved A* – C in English, and 82% in Mathematics. We have seen great success in many areas, notably 100% of students who studied GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Maths, German and Russian gained A* – C grades.

Joan Bloomfield, Acting Headteacher, said ‘Congratulations to all year 11 students. They have done incredibly well. A number of students have gained A/A* grades in all of their subjects which is a fantastic achievement. Every subject has performed magnificently.’
‘These fantastic results mean a huge amount for our pupils and their parents, the staff who have worked tirelessly to support them and the school community as a whole’.
Laura (left) received an A^ and 10 A* grades. Rebecca (right) received 10 A* grades and one A. Well done!
We look forward to welcoming you all to Prize Giving in November which will be held in the auditorium of our brand new school.
Inspired by some former pupils at our open day, pupils coming to Marden in September photographed lots of interesting details of our current school during a Transition lesson.
Each group had a specific area of the school to focus on and photographed: walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, fixtures and fittings.
