Welcome to Marsden Heights Community College

Where everyone matters. 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Principal of Marsden Heights Community College. It is a privilege to have been entrusted with the opportunity to lead such a fabulous group of students and staff. Working together, I know that this is a school that will thrive. My focus is on making sure that every student reaches their full potential every day. 

As we know, success is the result of excellence, hard work, learning from failure and persistence – all of these are in evidence every day at Marsden Heights and these qualities are what will make us truly great as a school. We work daily to our mantra of ‘Respect, Aspiration and Resilience’. Our students demonstrate these qualities every day. 

James Delve, Principal

Students explored creativity and community with @superslowway during an inspiring day at the British Textile Biennial (BTB) exhibition in Blackburn. Members of Positive Voices, Eco Duniya, and the Year 9 Committee were joined by local community members as part of the Super Slow Way's initiative. As well as touring venues around Blackburn, the group enjoyed a special tour led by Laurie Peake, BTB’s Creative Director, at Blackburn Cathedral, of textile installations, learning the stories behind them. #Community #Respect #Aspiration #Resilience #MarsdenHeightsCommunityCollege #MHCC #BestinEveryone #EveryMinuteMatters #EducationWithCharacter
