Year 10 mock interview sessions taking place this morning! Preparing students for the world of work.
Marden entered two Year 7 girls football teams into the North Tyneside 7-a-side completion held at Cochrane Park on Wednesday. Both teams were outstanding, both winning their respective groups and progressing to the semi finals.
The blue team ended up with a Bronze medal and the grey team won their semi final and scored a last minute winner in the final to win the tournament!
Congratulations to all who took part. Next up, we will represent North Tyneside Schools in the Northumberland County competition after Easter. Well done!

As mentioned in a recent newsletter, we have new a new catering services team overseeing the school meals at Marden from next term. A video screencast was shared with students this week, and letters sent home to parents and carers. You can watch the video below:
In December North Tyneside Council gave notice to all schools that they would no longer be providing a catering service and that with effect from the 1st April we would need to find a new provider.
The service was put out to tender early in the new year and we received three bids from potential providers. After a careful evaluation process Dolce was awarded the contract after scoring highly on all the key performance indicators. Dolce has promised a varied and exciting offer, there will be an expanded breakfast offer and at break and lunchtime students will be able to choose from a wide range of foods served from five different outlets each serving a different style of cuisine.

As part of an ongoing recent project in English around social equality, Year 9 this afternoon took part in a ‘Question Time’ style lecture with Sir Alan Campbell MP. He discussed his role in politics and answered questions about social and political issues.
Our Year 11 student Dan has been hitting all the right targets recently, travelling the world as one of the most promising darts players in the country for his age group. Last week he visited BBC Radio Newcastle to share some tips and chat about what we hope will be an exciting future career at the oche!
