Thank you,
Mrs Robson
Thank you to everyone who was contributed to the Community School Clothing Scheme by donating old and unwanted uniform. We were overwhelmed with donations, as you can see!
The community school clothing scheme have a free service that everyone can use to request uniform for any school (if you need Marden uniform you just need to fill in a request form and the charity finds the uniform and contacts the requester to collect it).

It’s only been going for four years and they have just opened their 5th shop so they have plenty of stock!
As Mr Snape mentioned in his newsletter (28.05.21) there will the opportunity for Year 10 pupils to sit exams in most of their subjects. In line with our Covid risk assessment these exams will take place in classrooms during usual lesson time.
This is always good practice for important assessment in year 11, and the next few weeks will be a good opportunity for the students to learn, develop and practice effective methods of revision, which their teachers will have shown them during lessons.
Currently, the message from the Department for Education is that GCSE exams next summer will be back to normal, so it is important that students get a feel for the GCSE exams and to become familiar with exam rubric and regulations. Once exams are completed by the end of June, students will receive valuable feedback on how they have performed, as well as information on further revision strategies for next year.
To help support pupils’ preparation please find below an exam timetable and a ‘How to revise…’ document for each subject.

We are always very keen to hear parents’ views of their own children’s experiences at school. We hope therefore, that all parents will take a few moments to complete the questionnaire which we have sent out, as the more responses we have, the clearer the picture is to us of our areas of strength and areas for development. The links are below, we have separated them into different year groups so that we can offer more bespoke feedback depending on which year your child is in.
We are currently working on our School Development Plan for next year, and the findings from this parent survey will feed into the content of this important working document.
Thank you for your continued support.
Here is a reminder of the enrichment opportunities on offer for Year 11 after half term. Students have access to a similar document where they have been signing up. It is important that students do sign up if they want to attend so staff can prepare. All students must also sign in and out of reception.

DONATE ANY UNWANTED UNIFORM OR REQUEST ITEMS OF UNIFORM FREE OF CHARGE!
The Community School Clothing Scheme is a charity we work with which receives donations of uniform, including shoes, coats, sportswear, plain shirts and trousers. Additionally, any parent or carer struggling to kit their child out can go online and request logo and generic items of uniform free of charge!
If any students, parents and carers have any unwanted uniform, that they perhaps might have grown out of, it can be brought into school and we will pass this on. Year 11 students in particular might have unwanted uniform they could donate as they no longer require it.
You can find out more about the scheme HERE or via their Facebook page.
