Senior High Notes 30th September 2022
Here at Derby High it is so true every Friday that we have had a very busy week. Our students astound me with all that they do alongside their studies. I am always so impressed by the willingness and desire from our students to be involved and give their best in everything they do and the dedication from our staff to offer a breadth of opportunities for their pupils. Our celebration assemblies are a wonderful opportunity for us to share so many fantastic achievements and successes in a wide range of academic and co-curricular endeavours. This week I was delighted to be able to present certificates for Music, LAMDA and super-curricular language immersion challenge, along with the U16 Quad Cup Champions in netball and the House Netball Cup.

Senior High Notes 2nd September 2022
It was lovely seeing everyone return to school this week after such a long time apart. I would like to extend an especially warm welcome to all our new students and parents who joined us for the first time. We look forward to getting to know you better as we look with anticipation to the term ahead. I have been delighted to see such a buzz around school this week, with the classrooms full of happy chatter and excellent work going on already. On Thursday I visited every class across the whole school; I was very impressed to see first-hand how quickly the children were all settling into the new term and new routines.
