What can we say about Year 6? They have amazing throughout their learning journey at Marsden, fully embracing the motto of “Everyone Cares, Everyone Matters”.

On Wednesday, they gave us a spectacular performance during their leavers’ assembly. We laughed, cried and shared A LOT of fond memories.

Congratulations to our award winners this year:

The Mrs Payne Award went to Sonny. He has been a beaming ray of sunshine from the moment he stepped through the nursery doors on his first day. He has matured into a remarkable young boy who will continue to shine wherever he goes.

The Deputy Headteacher Award went to Ruby-Lou. Her dedication and hard-work has been noted throughout her time at Marsden and she has been an excellent role model to her peers.

The Headteacher Award went to Aimee-Rose. Throughout her time at Marsden, Aimee-Rose has utilized lots of opportunities to take on extra responsibilities from being a lunchtime buddy to singing solos in the school choir. We are so proud of the mature girl she has become and know she will thrive at secondary school.

Well done to our football teams who both had excellent seasons.

Year 6,

As you stand at the edge of an exciting new adventure, take a moment to look back at how far you’ve come. You’ve grown, learned, laughed, and shown incredible strength. Primary school has been your first big chapter—and now, you’re ready to turn the page.

Secondary school will bring new challenges, new friends, and new opportunities to shine even brighter. Sometimes you’ll feel nervous, and that’s okay. Every great journey begins with a little courage and a lot of heart.

Remember this:
You are capable.
You are unique.
And you are ready.

Be kind. Be curious. Be brave.
And never forget—you’ve already proven you can achieve amazing things.

Now go out there and show the world who you are.
