"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.

Celebrations continued at Shrewsbury Academy yesterday as our Year 11 students collected their GCSE results.

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces as students celebrated achieving the grades they wanted, securing places in sixth form, and gaining admission to the colleges of their choice.

We are incredibly proud of all our Year 11 students and everything they have achieved. Their commitment, determination, and resilience have been inspiring, and we know they have bright futures ahead of them.

Good luck to every one of you as you begin the next chapter of your journey. We are honoured to have played a part in your story and look forward to hearing about your future successes.
