A message from Mr Hawke, Crew Director 💛

"I would like to celebrate some of the beautiful work produced by students in The Harbour in Years 8 and 9 during Collaboration Day. The creativity, care and teamwork on display were a real credit to everyone involved.

A special thank you to Jessica, Kaleb, Kiera, Oliver (8 Blakemere), Paige, Ryan, William, Darcey (8 Redbrook), Constance (8 Alderford) and Hollie (8 Ossmere) for sharing their work so confidently.

All students have been awarded Caring for my Achievement points in recognition of their effort and attitude. Very well done" 👏

🚗 Car Park and Drop Off Update 🚸

We have recently made a number of improvements on site to support safer and smoother movement during busy drop off and collection times.
What has been done so far:

• A new zebra crossing has been installed, giving students a safe, visible and prioritised place to cross
• A new walking route from the bus drop off area now leads directly to the zebra crossing, helping to keep students away from moving vehicles
• We are continuing to review traffic flow, parking layout and visibility to identify further ways to reduce congestion and improve safety across the site

🚗Reminder: Rugby Club Parking🚗
To help ease congestion at the school entrance, families are encouraged to use the Rugby Club car park at drop off and collection. This makes a real difference to safety for everyone on site, and we are grateful to those who already do this.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe 💛

Years 12 and 13 delivered a highly impressive performance in our inaugural Cuban Missile Crisis conflict resolution simulation 🌍

Students showed disciplined teamwork, calm and confident leadership under pressure, and a mature understanding of complex global events. Their diplomacy throughout was outstanding, with every delegate delivering powerful speeches that elevated the debate even further.

Gareth Von Dinther, Chair of Governors and Regional Director of the United Nations Association, praised the calibre of their work and noted that the standard of debate was comparable to national and international Model UN summits. An exceptional achievement from every student involved. Very well done 👏

Intern at one of our

"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.

Our Gold Duke of Edinburgh students recently took part in their second training weekend, with a strong focus on first aid.

Working with our first aid instructor, Louise Addinall from ‘Safe 360 Training’, students refreshed the knowledge they first gained through their Young First Aider Award at Silver, covering CPR, choking and wound treatment before practising these skills through a range of scenarios.

Later in the day, students were challenged with realistic surprise incidents outdoors, including treating a severe head wound, anaphylactic shock and hypothermia. Working in real‑life conditions helped develop confidence, problem‑solving skills and the ability to identify and respond to emergencies effectively.
