I am delighted to welcome you to our school. A place where your children will be happy, confident and able individuals, through every tailored experience they are prepared for who they want to be in 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. In our school every student is known, valued, included and celebrated.
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.

Staff INSET Today our entire staff body are undertaking training in Restorative Practice as we prepare for the new academic year. We look forward to welcoming our students in Years 7 and 12 tomorrow for their first day and the rest of the school all return on Thursday. Students are permitted to wear summer shirts or remove their blazer and/or tie this week in light of the warm weather. They should also bring a reading book. Lastly, please be reassured our buildings do not contain any RAAC which has been the topic of conversation in recent media.
Ahead of GCSE results day this week take a look at some photos of our students' celebration day to mark the end of Year 11.
Dragons' Den Business Challenge Throughout terms 3 & 5 Year 8 developed their entrepreneurial skills by taking part in a Business Challenge as part of their Discover+ programme. Students focused on designing, marketing and producing their products for sale with profits being split between the Pied Piper Appeal and a year group event. There was a vast array of products available which included jewellery, plushies, hats, make up products, candles, games and stationery. The groups did an amazing job of setting up their stalls and adapting their pricing strategies as the sales week progressed and understood that selling products can be challenging at times. We look forward to running the event in the Spring term of 2024 to a new set of budding entrepreneurs.
CyberFirst Silver Award We are thrilled to have been further recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - a part of GCHQ - for excellent cyber security teaching, having been re-awarded the CyberFirst Silver Award. The programme recognises schools and colleges that can show their dedication to inspiring the next generation of cyber security experts and addressing the UK's cyber skills gap. Denmark Road High School demonstrated a range of work aimed at engaging students, including offering lunchtime coding clubs, and taking students off timetable on Ada Lovelace Day to develop IT and computing skills. CyberFirst is a vital part of the National Cyber Security Programme, helping to develop the next generation of cyber security professionals. The youth element is led by the NCSC and has helped more than 48,000 youngsters pursue their interests in computing and cyber security through a range of free opportunities and initiatives. The NCSC is the UK's lead technical authority on cyber security and offers unrivalled real-time threat analysis, defence against cyber attacks and tailored advice to victims when incidents do happen. Charlotte Smith met with representatives of our cyber teams to present the award during Term 6.
Our Year 7 students enjoyed a Ninja Warrior experience as part of their activity days to celebrate the end of their first year at Denmark Road.
No amount of rain can dampen the spirits of our Year 8 students who have been having a wild time at Cotswold Water Park today!
Our community believes in each individual member and their ability to achieve. Our curriculum develops autonomy and resilience enabling students to enjoy learning and become confident, lifelong learners able to thrive now and in the future. Our timeless values encourage responsibility, generosity of heart and above all social conscience.
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.
