On March 14th, over 130 Marden staff and students took part in a 17 minute march around the school field to remember those who lost their lives in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida last month. The march lasted 17 minutes in memory of the 17 people who lost their lives that day. The plan for the march at Marden was suggested by Robert Morley of Y8 and supported by a large number of staff and students.
A first for news day: The reporter makes the news! Our Year 8 journalist Josh finished second in a national cross country run at the weekend. Here, he reads about his own efforts in the Evening Chronicle!

Well done to everyone, on stage and behind the scenes, who were involved with our two productions of ‘Grease’ this week. Our students once again proved what a talented bunch they are with a stunning and dramatic musical performance. Thanks to all who attended! Here are a selection of photographs from both evenings.
