Year 8

I settled into life at Denmark Road really quickly and feel like I have been here longer than i really have. I love coming here each day. There are many things I love about Denmark Road but one thing I particularly love is the amount of sport that takes place here. I attend a lot of clubs including football, netball, flag football and hockey. These clubs don’t just help me develop skills, they also help me make some more friends. Every teacher makes each lesson very enjoyable. I leave lessons with a big smile and I can feel my development and progress in all subjects. My favourite subjects are Spanish, Food and Nutrition, English, Art and Drama. I am loving coming to sc

The best thing about Denmark Road is the sense of family felt by peers and teachers. We are a community who support each other to be ourselves and I love the freedom we have to express your own individuality. I particularly enjoy being part of the musical communities here. I am a part of Jazz Band, Orchestra and multiple Choirs. You really get to know everybody and get to have fun rehearsing and putting on regular performances. Olympiads in Maths and Biology have been great experiences too. I've also taken opportunities to explore other interests such as engineering through the Greenpower club and STAAR Challenge. With the Greenpower team we built, tested an

Senior Team Alumni

Denmark Road supported my academic and personal development since year 7 to align with and facilitate my future aspirations. I studied A-Levels in Economics, Maths, and Biology and am now studying Land Economy at Cambridge. What stands out to me is the sense of community that develops within the year groups and between students and staff. This has always provided an encouraging learning environment where peer support is a fundamental part of our studies, super-curricular exploration, and applications. Personally, the opportunities provided from the start of year 7 to build confidence and communication skills through group proj

I’ve been at Denmark road for a couple of years, but I settled in so quickly, I feel like I have been here for so much longer. With all the opportunities available academically but also in sport, drama, music and art it is impossible not to love being here. I love the fact that there are amazing trips we can go on such as Netball PGLs, theatre trips, ski trips and a sport tour to Barbados. A passion of mine is sport. I play competitive hockey, netball, cricket, athletics, cross country and rounders for school. I have been delighted at the amount of sport on offer and I enjoy having the opportunity to sometimes captain a team which has helped me to develop my lea

Having spent seven years at Denmark Road High School I have so many fond memories, particularly as being in the Sixth Form has brought more independence and opportunities. I have especially loved taking part in House events such as House Dance as there is a great team bond across the year groups and a fun, competitive atmosphere plus they offer a chance to go off timetable and show our skills in other areas. I have loved my time at this school and would not change any of it as it has helped shape me into who I am today. I recently completed five A Levels; Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. As there wasn’t enough space on my timetable for everythi

I’m Nell and I’m on the netball team, football team and do tennis, badminton and rounders clubs. In the future I’d like to be a frontlines journalist. I love that my year group is full of likeminded peers like me that also love to learn. We can take every opportunity to learn new things and go new places in a safe environment. I’ve had opportunities to see plays, visit castles, museums, beaches and much more. One of the best weeks of my life was a week long geography trip to Iceland and a week in Newquay! Our invest days are also amazing opportunities to learn and discover things off timetable, an example is our drugs awareness day which has stuck with me f

Year 13

There’s a great feeling of togetherness at our school, I’ve made really great friends – even in other year groups - and love the opportunities we get as students. I know I can always offer an answer and not be afraid to get something wrong because if I do, it’s not a problem and it’s just a great chance to learn. I’m part of the Orchestra and do seasonal clubs like badminton, tennis and volleyball. I’ve also been able to go to Austria on a trip, to a talk in Bristol on Maths and I’m part of the Step Up programme preparing me for Oxbridge in the future if I choose to go down that route.

Year 12

Some of my favourite things I get to do at Denmark Road are the creative productions and clubs. The year before last I had a part in Legally Blonde: The Musical Jnr and really enjoyed getting to be involved in such a fun, exciting project. I made friends in other year groups who had the same interests as me and putting on shows for sold out audiences night after night was a great experience. Last year we performed A Monster Calls and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially as it is a darker production than the pink comedy of Legally Blonde. I’d love to take the skills I am learning now forward to becoming a News Presenter in the future. I think the fact Denmark Road is

Year 9

The best thing about being at Denmark Road High School is actually three things; the teachers, the teaching assistants and the students. I have been inspired to be a teacher when I grow - if I’m not playing Water Polo for Great Britain! I love the opportunities I get here such as House Music and House Drama, being able to take up a new instrument, play in sports matches and meet new people, as well as the wide variety of clubs to try. Something I feel confident in now is that you don’t need to rush friendships. Those people who are naturally more confident will talk to those who are less confident and everything falls naturally into place.

I love the environment at Denmark Road - everyone is friendly and approachable, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. You can always ask someone from your class for help, even if you aren’t necessarily friends. The teachers are also amazing and always ready to help you understand and achieve your best. Denmark Road had countless opportunities for me to participate in. Some that I have most valued were the Step-Up programme with Oxford, the Work Experience week at the end of Year 10 and 12, and the UCAS fair in March of Y12. Additionally, there are lots of clubs to run and get involved in, so there’s always something for you to be doing! Last year I was part

Year 9

Though I have only been at Denmark Road for a matter of a year I have quickly learnt how understanding and friendly everyone is. You are allowed to be yourself no matter who that is and you get great opportunities to get to know each other too such as the bonding trip to Croft Farm and language exchanges in Year 10. The school gives us many chances to interact with the older students too, for example we get assigned a Year 12 student as a mentor to guide us. I love getting to explore who I am. There are a huge variety of clubs, instruments, books and 3 languages to choose from. I am part of the following clubs, Netball. Illustration, Bridges Beginners, French perspective of World

I am Everley and I am currently a Year 9 student at Denmark Road. At this school I currently attend a variety of clubs; these being origami club and book club. I enjoy my time at Denmark Road immensely and all the classes are great, but I especially enjoy art and drama. As a Denmark Road student, I feel a sense of belonging at the school. It is easy to make new friends. Even if you start your journey not knowing anyone at all, you are guaranteed to make plenty of new friends. At Denmark Road, I have school meals and am genuinely impressed with the quality of the food at the canteen and enjoy eating there every day. My experience at Denmark Road has so far been a good one and I h
