Our sports day on Friday was a tremendous success, with Bamburgh the eventual overall winners in a tight contest. Congratulations to everyone who took part. Here’s an extended montage of clips and photos from the day!
As we move over to our new timetable in readiness for 2024/25, here is our new range of extra-curricular activities for the next academic year.
Equinor are running taster days at Dogger Bank Operations Base in August to try to meet some of the work experience need for local young people. They are running on 15 and 27 August for 14 – 19 year olds. If you can get to the Port of Tyne gates, we will then bus you up to the base, do a vessel tour and lunch onboard, meet engineers and various roles at the wind farm and have a go on a test rig, something that is often used on assessment days for apprenticeships.
We have 15 places each day.

Congratulations to Year 7 student Henry (pictured below) and his teammate Finley for picking up awards at Percy Park RFC’s end of season awards night. Henry took home the trophy for most improved player. Well done!
Marden entered two Year 7 girls football teams into the North Tyneside 7-a-side completion held at Cochrane Park on Wednesday. Both teams were outstanding, both winning their respective groups and progressing to the semi finals.
The blue team ended up with a Bronze medal and the grey team won their semi final and scored a last minute winner in the final to win the tournament!
Congratulations to all who took part. Next up, we will represent North Tyneside Schools in the Northumberland County competition after Easter. Well done!
