Marden High School  has joined the ranks of  the top north east state secondary schools in the performance league tables just published by the Department for Education. The tables are based on GCSE results for 2013 when 80% of Marden’s pupils gained 5 A*- C grades, including English and maths. This places Marden as the top  performing school north of the Tyne, fourth on Tyneside and eighth in the whole of the north east region including as far south as Teesside.

Headteacher, Jonathan Morris, is delighted with his school’s achievement: “These are the best GCSE results ever achieved by a maintained North Tyneside school and are a testament to the great team work between staff and students.”

Marden’s recent surge in standards, which includes a highly successful OFSTED inspection, has led to increased interest from parents across North Tyneside. Jonathan Morris is keen that as many young people as possible benefit from Marden’s high quality of teaching:

“If any parents or carers are considering or reconsidering their choice of secondary school, they should definitely have a look at Marden. Parents wishing to visit the school to see our work at first hand only need contact me to arrange a tour of the campus.”
