I wish you a warm welcome to Marden High School. As a parent myself, you want your child to be happy, safe and successful at school, and we recognise that success can come in all sorts of areas. We promote academic success, with enviable year-on-year exam results, and are committed to enhancing still further our innovative, high-quality education. In addition we offer a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities to support your child’s development, helping our young people build independent learning skills, confidence, and strong communication skills.

Students at Marden are truly ‘seen’; our staff cultivate strong relationships, get to know your children well, and this enables our young people to express their own personalities. Our core values of Hope, Agency, and Leadership underpin everything we do. Through these values, we strive to see hope and opportunity for everyone, recognising the great range of talents we all have and helping our young people progress toward a bright future. Our students can very much be themselves. Our young people are all individuals, and our ethos and close-knit community supports this—even though we have grown in recent years, we harbour a strong sense of community. Our students are kind to each other and visitors remark on the calm sense of purpose and how articulate, polite and engaging our students are. I hope you find this website a useful gateway to our school and that it gives you a sense of who we are. In my view, the best way to get a feel for a school, and to see if it is right for your child, is to experience it. If you would like to find out more or visit the school, please do get in touch.

Mrs K Robson, Headteacher.
