A group of Year 9s today took part in the Youth Council debate at North Tyneside Council offices, as part of Local Democracy Week. After listening to a debate about local transport from two other schools. they then took part in a debate with Burnside College about lowering the voting age to 16, with Marden High in favour!
After opening remarks, the floor was open to debate, and at the end of the afternoon, a vote was cast which led to Marden being crowned the most convincing debating team, taking home the shield!
Well done to all who took part!

Following on from Mrs Berriman’s assembly this morning, here is a recap of all the activities available to students on the 19th and 20th of July for our Creative Arts Festival. Students have until Thursday of this week to choose their activities!
Year 10 students visited Blyth Beach and Whitley Bay last week to carry out environmental surveys and studied the effects of longshore drift as part of their compulsory fieldwork towards their studies.
Last week Mrs Russell’s chemistry class completed one of their GCSE required practicals. Students were investigating whether a neutralisation reaction is exothermic or endothermic (ie. Does the reaction give out energy or absorb energy).
This week, some Year 10 students spent the day on campus at Newcastle University working with the Chemistry department as part of their annual Salters’ Festivals of Chemistry 2023. Students experienced what it would be like to be a student at University. They enjoyed and participated in an interactive chemistry lecture, they made aspirin in the lab and tested its purity. They also interviewed a panel of experts on their chemistry career.
The event was an exciting opportunity to inspire students about the potential of chemistry, motivate students to pursue the subject to an advanced level, and to learn about future career options in science.
