"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.

📢 Uniform Order Update
We have been made aware of delays affecting some uniform orders from School Shop Direct.
Students who are still waiting for their uniform items may attend school wearing their school shirt and tie only (without a blazer or jumper) for the first few weeks until their order arrives.
If your child is affected, please send them in with a note from a parent/carer confirming that their uniform order is still outstanding.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will continue to liaise with School Shop Direct to ensure orders are fulfilled as quickly as possible.
✅ Reminder: All footwear should be completely black, and hooded tops are not permitted as part of the school uniform.
Thank you for your understanding and support. 🎓 ...

Team Grove Celebrates Student Success, Resilience and Personal Achievement
The Grove School is celebrating the achievements of its Class of 2026, with students across the school demonstrating determination, resilience and significant personal progress in this year's GCSE and vocational examination results.
As with all grades there is a story of personal triumph and resilience behind each success. Students worked incredibly hard and have achieved their successes through their own commitment.
Headteacher Mitch Allsopp said:
"Today is about celebrating our students and recognising the effort that sits behind every grade achieved. Whether students have exceeded expectations, achieved their target grades or overcome personal challenges simply to reach the examination hall, every success deserves recognition. We are really proud of every student and all that they have achieved.
Whether you are remining with us into 6form or moving on to a new challenge, thank you for being a brilliant part of Team Grove
on behalf of all of the team, we wish you all the best in your future."
The Grove School is transforming, if you would like to see the changes please visit our website groveschoolmarketdrayton.co.uk or visit our open evening on Tuesday 22nd September from 4:30pm-7:30pm.
Congratulations, Team Grove! ...

Before Open6, some subjects simply weren't available at every Sixth Form.
Hear how Open6 enabled one student to study Further Maths while remaining at the Sixth Form they already knew and felt supported at.
Discover how Open6 creates more opportunities without compromising support and community.

A huge thank you to Trust alumnus and University of Birmingham PhD student Ben Fry for coming back to inspire our students with an incredible hands-on neuroscience workshop.
Experiences like this are what The Open6 Offer is all about - bringing learning to life, broadening horizons and helping young people develop the confidence and skills they'll need for the future.
