More than 100 students are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award this year, and on Saturday these Year 9 groups took part in their first practice walk!
On Tuesday last week we had our very first House TV quiz! The focus of our quiz this week was Geography! Students took on three segments starting with segment one ‘The Drop’ seeing students guess the continent from the clues after being dropped into Google Earth street view.
Alnwick and Warkworth were in for a strong start, both gaining a host of points with Alnwick in the lead, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh had catching up to do. Segment two looked at students trying to pick infamous landmarks from blurry images, again a strong start from Alwick, but points were claimed by Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh.
Going into the final round Alnwick had a strong lead with Warkworth in second followed by a tied Dunstanburgh and Alnwick. The final round was the local challenge and saw Mr. Jilley take off around the school to three different locations with a point scored by Warkworth early on, but the rest of the points mopped up by Alnwick.
A dominant performance by Alnwick saw them claim the first ever Marden House Quiz and 100 extra points for their House. Whilst the house captains battled it out in the classroom, form groups attempted to be the quickest to send in their answers with the fastest form being Mrs Mannion’s who has distributed her 100 house points amongst the four houses.
What a week! Earlier this week our Year 8 boys football team were crowned cup winners after victory over Wellfield Middle School. Not to be outdone, our Year 11s replicated that success with a tight win over St. Thomas More last night, taking home the trophy in their final ever match representing Marden! Congratulations to both teams!

Today, our Year 10 students took part in an exciting and interactive session delivered by the Natural Gas team. Students explored the fascinating world of hydrogen fuel cells and learned about their real-world applications in sustainable energy and transportation.
The session also gave students the opportunity to see model cars in action, helping them understand how fuel cell technology works in a fun and engaging way. A fantastic hands-on experience that inspired curiosity, innovation, and learning in STEM!
