Information about our upcoming World Book Day Activities and a chance for Year 7 to get involved in our upcoming Readathon! More information to follow after half term…
Thanks to all students who made cards in the LRC this week in support of Cullercoats Library.
All North Tyneside Libraries are facing cuts and closures due to council cuts and Marden High students have been showing their appreciation of books and reading by sending handmade cards to the library with messages inside of why they love to read.

They will eventually be displayed either in the library or other local businesses so keep your eyes peeled!
