This time lapse shows off all the hard work by the Year 8s during Monday’s Super Learning Day, as three teams of Artists, Scientists and Media gurus created their own stained glass windows out of paper and lit up the East Wing of the school for Marden Lumiere 2013. It was a festive and fitting way to end this term; Merry Christmas to everyone from Marden High School!
Selected Year 7 Art students spent the day on Friday creating this impressive display for the main hall, a panoramic design based on Lewis Carroll’s famous poem Jabberwocky.
Marden alumnus Hayley Anderson, a Class of 2013 A* Art pupil, appeared on ITV’s Daybreak on Tuesday, after getting to the last four in their Christmas Card design competition, and this morning Hayley was announced the winner live on ITV by presenter Gethin Jones

An exhibition of GCSE artwork by the recent Year 11 leavers has gone on display in St. George’s Church, Cullercoats, and parents and carers were invited to the opening event on Thursday night to view the work and enjoy some live music. The work will remain on display for the community to admire until this Sunday 7th July. Here is some of the excellent work produced:
The Year 10s have been sitting a mock GCSE Art exam, here is just some of the brilliantly creative stuff going on in Mrs. Noble and Mr. Prytherch’s classrooms:
Year 8 have taken part in an ambitious and creative project, writing stories in the style of Arthur Conan Doyle. The English department produced a 2 minute murder mystery film in which they “killed off” head of department Mrs Brolly, revealing a list of teacher suspects and their sinister motives.
All Year 8 sets then had to come up with their own original stories, written in the style of a Sherlock Holmes investigation, in which they wrote about their theories as to who “bumped off Brolly”.
Students speculated for weeks before being shown the final reveal in an updated video. Everyone agreed it was an exciting and original module; the students really responded to the interactive approach from the members of staff and they produced some superb pieces of written work. Watch the full video, including the students’ creative speculation, below…
Year 8s recently produced trailers for a modern day version of Hamlet, here is a great example of some of the creative work from Mrs Brolly’s top set class:
