Student submissions for the Gloucestershire Young Photographer of the Year competition - unfortunately the competition was in April and was cancelled, however DRHS students have again, impressed us with their skilful and original photography!

We are delighted to advise that Denmark Road will be reopening for our students from Wednesday 2nd September.  

We are ready to listen.

We are able to learn.

We are willing to respond.

On 17^th June I received a letter composed by four former students titled ‘Challenging the Culture of Casual and Institutional Racism at Denmark Road High School’ and undersigned by other former and present students. The letter spoke of their experiences as students of colour, their opinions on education and a call for dialogue with Denmark Road High School on racism and anti-racism.

I am grateful to these students for contacting us.  I am grateful that they care about the education of our present and future students.  That they want to work with us to bring about change within our community.  I responded to them and invited them to school for an open discussion about their letter, our plans to date and with hope to begin a partnership to promote and embed anti-racism at Denmark Road High School. The meeting was an empowering experience.  At times uncomfortable.  At times challenging.  But always honest, mutually respectful and educational.

Farewell from all staff

Staff met on Friday morning, our last day after a busy week planning for September reopening. We miss you and can’t wait to see you on results days and in September.

Here is a little message from us.
