Marden alumnus Hayley Anderson’s stunning artwork, which won ITV Daybreak’s Sketch Santa competition last month, has arrived at the school in the form of a huge banner, which now hangs proudly in the main hall.

A change in the school’s data management system in the summer term has meant that we have been without a parent portal. In the interim there has been a trial program of sending pupil reports via school email addresses. However, feedback from parents and carers has suggested that this is not always a user friendly process. Because of this we have brought forward the launch of our new parent portal which we are delighted to announce is now live. This can be accessed by clicking ‘Parents‘ at the top of this web page then ‘Parent Portal‘.
Well, it’s happened.
The phone call came at 12.05 on Tuesday and by 16.30 on Thursday it was all over.
OFSTED
The single most intense and dramatic event in the life of a modern school had come and gone.
Now before I go any further, I’m not allowed to tell you the inspectors’ verdict before the publication of the final report in a couple of weeks time. Let’s just say that the staff and I are looking forward to reading it.
I must also say that we were overwhelmed by the massive support from parents and carers we received in person and on Parent View. The inspectors were amazed by the positivity of the responses and I hope that this is fairly represented in their judgements. You can find the Parent View findings very easily on the Internet where you’ll read that 96% would recommend Marden to other parents.
So what was it like to be “ Ofstedded”?
