Our Travel and Tourism students stepped into the role of real researchers, gathering qualitative insights through open ended questions as part of their course 📊✈️

There was plenty of curiosity, thoughtful conversations and hands on learning, helping students build confidence, communication skills and a real understanding of how research works in the world beyond the classroom. Best of all, learning felt meaningful, engaging and fun.

We are proud to see our students developing skills that prepare them for future study and careers in the travel and tourism industry.

This International Women’s Day, we were proud to hear from Niki McGarvey, MATi and Outreach Specialist Advisor, as she shared her reflections on this year’s theme of giving to gain.

When we give opportunity, encouragement and respect, we gain stronger communities, fairer workplaces and brighter futures. Every time we listen, support and open doors for women and girls, progress follows. Equality is not something we lose by sharing, it is something we all gain.

Today, and every day, we choose action, kindness and collaboration, because when women thrive, everyone thrives.

Find out more about how Marches Academy Trust supports equality, opportunity and leadership across our communities by visiting our website.

"As a parent, one of the questions that’s always been at the back of my mind is, what if my child struggles when they move into secondary school? 💛

Watching this short animation really reassured me. Across The Marches Academy Trust, there is a strong, joined‑up support system in place to help every child feel safe, supported and able to succeed.

From the support built into everyday mainstream lessons, through to more personalised help and full interventions when needed, children are never left to struggle alone. The Learning for Life framework means staff know our children well and can put the right support in place at the right time.

It’s comforting to know that whether a child needs a little extra help, targeted support, or more specialist intervention, there is a clear pathway and a team around them every step of the way 🌱

If you’re a parent wondering what support looks like as your child grows and transitions through school, this is well worth a watch."

👉 Watch the animation to find out more and see how every child is supported to thrive.
