The results of the recent North Tyneside Cross Country tournament at Churchill Playing Fields have revealed that Marden have not one but two winning teams!
Both the Boys and Girls Intermediate teams won their team events following strong runs from our Year 10s and Year 11s – and the best placed of those students will go through to represent the school at County level at Temple Park in South Shields in January. Well done to all the runners!
During an assembly, Year 11 held up a message for HMS Illustrious, currently delivering aid to the people of the Philippines over the Christmas period, and David Lowery has sent us a letter of thanks back (read below), also outlining some of the important work that they have been doing out there…

Well done Hayley!
Thanks once again to everyone who attended our Awards Evening last week, in which we celebrated the achievements of last year’s Year 11 leavers, who recorded the BEST EVER GCSE results in the history of North Tyneside.
Year 6 students from Cullercoats Primary School enjoyed their first visit to Marden on Friday, taking part in Maths lessons before visiting the Cafe and LRC.
Hi, my name is Caitlin McPartlan; I’m in year 9 and my mum has a neurological condition called Chiari Malformation…
After campaigning to do a fundraiser for nearly a year, finally, it had happened! Marden did a non-uniform day to raise money for the Ann Conroy Trust.
To do this I had to first, go through the people on the school cabinet and explain to them what the Ann Conroy Trust is and how it helps people with Chiari. When I had convinced the Cabinet to support me, the hardest part still wasn’t over. I had to convince the rest of the school to help too. This meant talking in assembly to years 7 & 8 then 9 & 10 and then year 11. This was really hard because public speaking isn’t what I’m best at. I hate speaking in front of people but I knew if I didn’t do it one of the teachers would speak and not do the charity justice.

Newcastle Eagles coach Fabulous Flournoy visited Marden on Tuesday to talk about his upbringing, his basketball career, and to give a motivational as part of our ongoing plan to raise achievement amongst Year 9 and Year 10 boys. Fab was entertaining throughout, and stayed to sign autographs and pose for photographs after the session.
£925 raised for Children in Need. Well done!
