Ms Benson

Hello, my name is Ms Benson

I started working here at Marshland High in 2012 and I know that it is a great place for learning and discovering how amazing you are at many different things.

I grew up in Wisbech before moving away in my 20s and my primary school was Peckover.

I am Head of Citizenship but often teach other subjects too.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have and you can always find me at lunch times if you have questions or concerns. Starting secondary school doesn't need to be scary. 

I love athletics and animals. I have a dog and a cat but am still hoping have a goat and a horse.

Mr Goddard

I am very competitive, and value those who are driven to work hard and succeed. 

I welcome you to Marshland High School, and look forward to working with you in the coming years. 

Mrs Dix

My Name is Mrs Dix, I love working at Marshland and have done so for the last 10 Years. I am very excited about being a Year 7 tutor again after being an upper school form tutor for the last few years. I am very loud and bubbly as I teach drama and will be teaching most of you. You will probably hear me around the school before seeing me, lol!!!!! I enjoy many things in life, traveling, going to the theatre, socialising with friends and my family, but my passion is pottery.  I love nothing more than going over to the pottery studio working on my latest pieces.  I do not get to go as much as I used to due to having a very lively 5-year-old!!!! I can't wait to meet my new form members; any problems come and see me.  Remember it does not matter how big or small your problems are, 'a problem shared is a problem halved' and everything can be sorted out together.

Mrs Beck

Hello I am Mrs Beck. I have worked at Marshland for 26 years. It is quite possible I taught your parents, if they came here!

I mainly teach PE but also KS4 Biology. I am one of the first aiders in the school.
In my spare time I play netball, paddleboard, swim, grow plants and keep my garden tidy, walk and look after my two dogs, read fiction books, socialise and dance. I also love spending time with my gorgeous, sporty and very funny son.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you settle in and see you through your Marshland journey.

Mrs Asquith

Hello, I'm Mrs Asquith and I only started at Marshland in September 2022, so I am almost as new as you.

I am looking forward to meeting you all in September.
