Starting secondary school offers many exciting opportunities for children and their families. At Marden High School, we are committed to ensuring that our new students feel comfortable and happy about such a big change in their lives. The smooth transition that we offer for our new intake is achieved through positive, frequent communication between students, staff, parents/carers and governors.
We aim for a transition process that:
Promotes the smooth transition of children throughout their five years at Marden High School and beyond
Prevents and alleviates stress for students and their families
Ensures continuity of teaching and learning
As our parents induction evening on 7 July is not going ahead, all of the relevant information will be published on our school website, alongside a video aimed at introducing parents to key staff. These include Headteacher Matt Snape, our SENDCO Bronia Reece, our Head of Year 7, Emma Laing, our transition learning mentor, Mrs Atkinson and our six Year 7 Form Tutors.
We will also be holding a remote New Parents Question and Answer Evening, between 6pm and 8pm on 7 July. This will be an opportunity for parents to post questions and receive answers in real time, using a hashtag on Twitter. You will receive details of how to access this facility closer to the date.
Please click here for the next Be Awesome, Go Big! activity for Year 6 students coming to Marden in September. We have been promoting these throughout the last few weeks of this term and this is the last one of the cycle. Session 9 is “Living Well”. All nine sessions can be found in the transition section of our Website!
Many thanks to everyone who took part in the Transition Q&A session earlier this term. It was a brilliant event and a great opportunity to interact with our new students.
Hosted by our Senior Leadership Team and Transition team, it was very well attended with all the questions and answers now found in the PDF document below, or in the Transition section of our website.
Whilst there, you’ll find our Be Awesome, Go Big package which students can enjoy as part of our Virtual Transition Programme this year. We’ve also added a folder to our Transition section which includes some lessons which you can enjoy at home. If you have any further questions relating to transition, please email e.laing@mardenhigh.net.
Some photographs to introduce our staff and areas of interest around the school.
I would like to thank you for your continued support in this period of uncertainty. We are currently also taking school orders via email as normal. orders@emblematic.co.uk
After yesterday’s government update, I am pleased to say that we will be offering the following options to parents this summer.
As of tomorrow, we will be changing our website with the following information.
We will continue to follow the guidance and decide if/when our shops can re-open and what other changes can be safely made.
I would like to confirm that all our plans are working to time.
Our manufacturers have not missed any delivery dates as yet, so we will have a full stock available all summer and don’t foresee any shortfalls in supply for going back to School in September.
Please can you inform all parents of our proposals and express the need to order early (especially this year) so we can deliver all the correct uniform, with plenty of time available for exchanges.
Thanks for all of your help.
Glen from Emblematic
