Congratulations to our children for representing Marton in the Blackpool School’s Athletics competition held at Stanley Park last Friday:

The children competed against 10 other teams in a variety of field and track events.  I am delighted to announce that despite tough opposition the children were awarded 3rd place overall.  The children showed great sportsmanship and determination throughout the event and were, as always, a great credit to our school. 

Well done children, I am extremely proud of you all.

A special thank you also to Mrs Cox and Mrs Hammond for accompanying the children on this event.

Congratulations to our Swimming Team on their magnificent performance yesterday at the Champion Swimming Gala at Palatine Leisure Centre.  I am thrilled to announce that not only did several children win medals for their individual events but the Marton team won the gala!  The children showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the competition and as always, were a great credit to our school.

Well done children, I am extremely proud of you all!

A huge thank you to all the parents, friends and families who supported the children at this event.  It is greatly appreciated.

Well done to Tia, Ellie, Chloe, Natasha, Lexus, Keera and Emma for representing our school at the Cheer Leading Festival held at Montgomery High School last Thursday. The girls produced a fantastic routine.

Congratulations to our Netball team, who were crowned as the Blackpool Champions in the nail biting tournament played at Stanley Park last Friday.

Our team won the first game against Revoe 4 – 0.  They then played Thames and beat them 6 – 0.  The match against Roseacre was next and proved to be much more of a challenge but still our team won 2 – 0. Although they lost the next game 3 – 2 to Hawes Side, they had qualified for the semi-finals to play Holy Family.  Our team emerged victorious with a 4 – 2 win.  The final against Anchorsholme was really exciting with both teams drawing level with two goals at full time. Extra time couldn’t separate them and the referee had to resort to

A very big thank you to everyone who has helped the school to collect unwanted clothing. In our latest collection, we’ve raised a £223.50 making the running total a magnificent £767.00. 

All the money raised is used to purchase resources for the children to use, so please continue to bring in your unwanted clothing and place them in our special container at the front of school.  Don’t forget shoes, bags, hats, glasses and all items of clothing are welcome.
