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.

On Wednesday morning the whole school came together to mark Peace One Day. The UN names a theme for each year's Day of Peace, which takes place on the 21st September. This year, the theme is "End racism. Build peace." The theme is intended to encourage unity and peace. From wars and natural disasters to social injustices and diseases, many factors can influence the dissonance and discord seen in everyday life. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in his message that we all have a responsibility to contribute to tranquillity and unity for a better world for all.

This morning we were delighted to welcome one of our alumni from the class of 2020, to take assembly. Jessica Holgate was Head Student in her final year at Derby High. Jess has been studying Zoology at Sheffield University and is going into her final year. We heard about her experiences over the summer working with injured sea lions in Peru. Jess’s advice to our students was to grasp every opportunity, and take yourself out of your comfort zone.

Yesterday was indeed a moment “when history stopped” and this morning in our assemblies we have reflected on the significance of the Queen’s long life and reign. As a school community we paid our respects to the Queen and recognised and reflected on her service to our nation.

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.
