I am delighted to welcome you to our school. A place where your children will be happy, confident and able individuals who are ready to shape the world.
It is an impossible task to describe what makes us who we are in written word… When you visit our school you will understand my predicament. The family feeling is something you simply have to experience, words cannot portray who and what we actually are.
On behalf of our community I extend a warm welcome to you all, please contact us on 01452 543335 or e-mail us to arrange a visit.
We Discover, Realise, Honour and Shape every day.
We are DenmarkRoad365.
Our school is remarkable.
Please come and see it for yourself.
Miss Claire Giblin,
Headteacher

Jane Steele. The best of us. Andy, Jane's husband and Eleanor, her daughter, have asked we share with our wider community and alumni some devastating news. Jane Steele, our deputy headteacher, died suddenly on Saturday 27th August. Our thoughts are with her family who are understandably finding it difficult to make any sense of their loss. Jane was pure Denmark Road. A teacher, leader, esteemed colleague, and trusted friend. Our world is a poorer place without Jane to share it with. As a community we are supporting each other, putting the needs and wishes of Andy and Eleanor at the fore. While the grieving is immense, it is nothing compared to the joy that Jane brought. In Andy and Eleanor's words: She was the best of us – a brilliant mother, an incredible wife, a fabulous friend, and a valued colleague. Everything she did was selfless. She lived to be there for other people. Jane's funeral will be held on Friday 30th September at Christ Church, Cheltenham. The service will begin at 11am and all who wish to pay their respects are invited to attend. We have set up an email address which we will share with the family should you wish to express your condolences or share a memory: Jane@denmarkroad.org. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. People will feel and express it in different ways. If this news brings grief allow yourself to feel it. Reach out to us if you are unsure how or need to speak to someone. I would share a quote of C S Lewis which has helped me understand grief in the past: "The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal." All best wishes Claire Giblin

Denmark Road High School is at the heart of Gloucester City. The stunning setting of Gloucester Cathedral welcomes our students and parents for Honour's Evening. This event recognises the outstanding achievements our students have made in Academics, Sports, STEM and the Arts during the academic year. The Cathedral also hosts our Annual Charity Concert and our Christmas Carol Service.
We value our role in the community through the contributions our students make to local charities and causes. We are proud our students welcome residents of local nursing homes to a tea party at the school. Other students volunteer at food banks and homeless shelters while the students of local primary schools benefit from the support with their reading and languages during our regular student visits. We regularly highlight and support local charities through various fundraising events throughout the school year.
Our Sixth Form students certainly benefit from our close proximity to the city centre and Gloucester Quays with its multiple shopping and cafe options. Denmark Road High School is outward-looking, forward-thinking, community focussed and will always be at the Heart of the City.
