Marden High School has joined the ranks of the top north east state secondary schools in the performance league tables just published by the Department for Education. The tables are based on GCSE results for 2013 when 80% of Marden’s pupils gained 5 A*- C grades, including English and maths. This places Marden as the top performing school north of the Tyne, fourth on Tyneside and eighth in the whole of the north east region including as far south as Teesside.

Well done Elliot!
