Pi Day

23rd March 2022J Ranson

Last Monday students around the school were introduced to the beauty of pi (π) as part of Pi Day celebrations. The 14th March is dedicated to Pi, as it is the 3rd month and the 14th day – 3.14 being the start of the number of Pi.

Students were shown some of the artwork that has been inspired by the number and examples of text written in Pilish; a literary form based on the digits of Pi.

The students themselves have been challenged to create something inspired by the number, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. So far entries have included some geometric artwork and a tasty looking fruit pie.

Newcastle United footballer Isaac Hayden visited school on Wednesday and gave students a motivational speech. He stayed all afternoon to take part in a Q&A and sign autographs. Have a look at some of the photos and footage in this video montage!

Isaac will be donating a set of five-a-side goals to the school, and the student ambassadors who showed him round were a real credit to Marden High!

Bake Sale Fundraiser – Over £1,000 Raised!

9th March 2022J Ranson

A huge £1015.35 has been raised from our bake sale supporting the people of Ukraine, with money still coming in and being counted!

Students and staff brought in an overwhelming amount of baked goods, filling the auditorium, and the demand for cakes and biscuits was so great that it took two days to sell everything.

Thanks to all who contributed to a very important cause!
