To all parents and carers, please find below the timetable for IS tasks during the first term of 2014/2015.
Unfortunately our usual supplier of student handbooks has let us down this year. Consequently this year’s handbooks will not arrive until Friday 5 September.
Apologies for the delay.

Looking back at 2013-14, I am proud to say that we’ve lived up to our Carpe Diem school motto. We’ve certainly seized the day and made the most of the exciting opportunities which have come our way.
Look at what we’ve achieved: record breaking GCSE results, great OFSTED report and the increasing support of prospective parents. Remarkably, we’ve admitted 60 students by mid term transfer since September so the good word about us is definitely getting round. It’s great to know that parents and carers from all over North Tyneside and south Northumberland are seeing us as their first choice of secondary school, even though they don’t live in our immediate locality.
And to top it all, it is thrilling to know that we have secured government funding for an entirely new school building. So in September 2016 we will open the doors to a brand new Marden High School, containing far superior opportunities for academic study and fully integrated provision for technology, sport and the arts so that the extracurricular life of the school will flourish even more.
Local blues musician Johnny Dickinson visited Marden on Wednesday for a full day of workshops with students and to play a private gig for staff and students at lunchtime; here are some edited highlights.
