TyneMet are hosting their Try it Out Workshops on Thursday 23rd April from 4:00pm-5:30pm (or on Tuesday 21st April from 4:00-5:30pm for Beauty Therapy).
This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain an insight into Tyne Met College and participate in a hands-on workshop. Students will have the chance to meet the tutors and ask any questions they may have.
This is open to all students whether they have already applied to Tyne Met College or are considering applying to the college.
On Friday Yr9 were visited by Sir Alan Campbell MP, who spoke to students about his career in politics. The ‘Question Time’ style lecture helped students who have been doing work in English around social equality. He also answered questions on the economy and social issues.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in Marden’s Got Talent last night! We hope everyone who attended enjoyed a great evening, there were some stunning acts on show! See you again next year!
Thank you to Melissa Laverick from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for delivering an inspiring Apprenticeship Awareness session to our Year 9 students.
The session provided valuable insight into the wide range of career pathways available through apprenticeships. It was fantastic to see such high levels of engagement, especially during the group task where students were able to apply their learning in a practical way.
This week, in RE lessons, students took part in a special initiative known as Prayer Space, providing them with a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and explore some of life’s big questions.
Prayer spaces, which have become increasingly popular in schools across the UK, offer pupils a safe and creative environment to engage with their thoughts and feelings.
The purpose of Prayer Space is to allow young people to take a moment away from the usual
business of school life, creating space for personal reflection. During their visit, students participated in interactive activities designed to help them think deeply about themes such as hope, gratitude, identity, and purpose. Whether they chose to write, draw, or simply sit quietly, every activity was designed to encourage personal connection and mindfulness.

Last week, our Year 10 students took part in an exciting careers-focused drop-down day: Represent Roadshow. The event brought together eight interactive workshops designed to help students understand how to present the best version of themselves to future employers and education providers.
Thanks to all providers for taking part!
This week, we’re supporting #NationalCareersWeek, check out these slides for more information!

As part of National Apprenticeship Week, students were this morning visited by Paul Yeomans, a director and Senior Architect at ‘Medical Architecture’, and he discussed architecture as a career. More information below!
