After two years of remote video auditions and online shows, Marden’s Got Talent made a triumphant return to the school building this week, with a packed sell out show in the auditorium.
The students on show were fantastic, with video submissions mixed with live action talents including singing, karate, Rubik’s cube, circus skills, piano and more!
Here’s a montage of footage and photos from the evening:
On 13th July, Newcastle-based education charity Hand Of, pupils of North Tyneside Schools and Ex-Easter Island Head – a Liverpool-based experimental music ensemble – will present Coastal Explorations at the Whitley Bay Playhouse.
Alongside these pupils, Ex-Easter Island Head and GCSE music students have created an impressionistic exploration of the Northumbrian coast in sound; tracing a journey from Holy Island to Newcastle city centre by way of brass, voice, piano, electric guitar, percussion and other instruments in a ten piece ensemble.Hand Of is a charity that gives children and young people unique creative opportunities to work alongside professional artists, musicians, archivists, academics and more.
Their projects harness the arts, heritage and education sectors to create a cultural education, which allows children and young people to create artistic responses to their experiences and understanding of the places they call home.
Over the past few months our Year 8 and Year 11 students have been working with the music group Ex Easter Island Head and the company Hand Of, building their own instruments and making their own music as part of a music, arts and heritage project.
The final performance will be taking place on the 13th July, 7:30pm at the Whitley Bay Playhouse.
We’d love for as many people as possible to join us for this music extravaganza. The tickets are bookable by clicking THIS LINK.
Between 4pm and 7pm this evening we are delighted to host a private viewing of this year’s Year 11 Art and Photography students work, for all parents, carers, family and friends. The exhibition will take place in the Sports Hall and refreshments will be provided.
Thank you.

On Wednesday, Year 10 RE students had the opportunity to visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to learn more about their studies of Christianity.
Their first opportunity for a school trip for more than two years, the students took in Lindisfarne Castle, admired the cairns on the beach and learned about the life of Saint Cuthbert, who ran the monastery there during the 7th Century before living a life of solitude on the nearby Farne Islands.
The students walked around the island and even had time for an ice cream at the end of the day. Year 11 will have the same opportunity on the last day before Easter, this Friday.

Almost £600 has been raised for today’s ‘Wear a Hat’ day, to support Brain Tumour Research, with some money still to be counted.
Well done to everyone for their contributions and for all the creative headgear on show!
A presentation from St. Anne’s College in Oxford was very well attended this morning, as Year 9, 10 and 11 learned all about university; from applying and studying to the cost and requirements.
