🌟 Celebrating the people who make Marches Academy Trust such a special place to learn and work! 🌟

Our Annual Trust Awards recognise staff who consistently go above and beyond, living our Trust values every day and making a real difference to our children, young people, colleagues and communities.

What makes these awards especially meaningful is that the nominations all came from staff, recognising the dedication, commitment and positive impact of colleagues across the Trust.

Congratulations to all of this year's award nominees and winners. The passion, teamwork and unwavering support for young people are truly inspiring.

We hope you enjoy taking a few moments to celebrate their achievements and the many reasons we are proud to be part of Marches Academy Trust.

🌙 Safe Nights Start with Smart Decisions

Midlands Nightlife Medical Delivered valuable safety advice to Year 10 this week. Year 10 students attended an informative and engaging assembly focusing on how to stay safe when socialising with friends in the evening. The session provided practical advice on recognising potential risks, making sensible decisions, and looking after both themselves and those around them. Students learned about the importance of staying together, planning journeys home in advance, keeping phones charged, and being aware of their surroundings. The presenters also shared valuable tips on how to spot signs that a friend may be vulnerable or in need of support, as well as what actions to take if a situation does not feel right. The assembly encouraged students to think proactively about personal safety, peer responsibility, and making informed choices, equipping them with useful knowledge and strategies to help them stay safe and confident while enjoying time with friends. Thank you Joshua and Jessica!

Despite the heat, our inner pastry chefs couldn't resist getting baking! 🍫☀️

Well done, Daisy – they were a huge hit! ❤️ #BakingFun #ChocolateBiscuits #HomemadeTreats #achievementcentre

🎉 Welcoming Our New Year 7 Students! 🎉

We recently held our Transition Days for our Year 6 pupils, giving them a taste of life at secondary school. Over the course of the days, students had the opportunity to experience some of our routines, meet staff and fellow students, and take part in a range of lessons and activities.

We were incredibly impressed by the fantastic behaviour, enthusiasm and positive attitude shown by everyone. It was wonderful to see so many students embracing this exciting next step in their educational journey.

We can't wait to welcome our new Year 7 cohort officially in September and look forward to supporting them as they begin this exciting new chapter.

🌟 Well done to all our future Year 7 students, we are excited to see you again soon! 🌟

Knife Angel Visit
Staff representatives were honoured to be invited to the official opening ceremony of the Knife Angel, which is currently on display in Shrewsbury Square.

Standing at 27 feet tall and created from thousands of confiscated knives, the Knife Angel is a striking and thought-provoking sculpture that serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of knife crime on individuals, families and communities. Its imposing presence encourages reflection, conversation and a shared commitment to creating safer futures for young people.

The ceremony provided an opportunity for the community to come together and consider the important message behind the installation, making it a truly moving and memorable occasion.
