The Marches School

The Marches School

The Marches School is a coeducational secondary school with sixth form in Oswestry, north-west Shropshire, England. It was the first academy to be created in Shropshire.

It is very important to us that we work closely in partnership with parents and careers, and communication between home and school is key. We recognize however that it can often be difficult communicating with teachers because they have a very full timetable; and we recognize that parents and careers also have very busy lives.

Student planner

Communication by email or student planner are the preferred method:                       

• Notes in student planners are by far the best way to get a message to a teacher promptly and should be used for the majority of everyday communication.
• The student is responsible for showing the note to the correct teacher.  This is the best way to ask them to contact you if you require a more detailed conversation.

Teachers want to respond to parental queries at the earliest opportunity and will do their best to do so, however, the majority of teachers’ time is taken up teaching and preparing for lessons. Teachers’ responsibilities extend beyond the classroom, and they may be unable to respond to you on the day a query is made. Our policy is that there is no expectation to respond to queries during their personal/family time.
