Denefield Events
Denefield Remembrance Day Service
Denefield staff and students gathered on Tuesday 11 November, for a heartfelt Remembrance Day Service, observing two minutes silence to honour those who have served and given their lives for our freedom.
Our Headteacher, Mr Towill, addressed the school with words of reflection and gratitude, followed by a moving recital of In Flanders Fields by the Deputy Head Student, Phoebe H. The Last Post was played beautifully, filling the school with a sense of stillness and respect. One student from each house laid a wreath as a symbol of remembrance, representing our shared gratitude for those who gave their lives in service.
The occasion highlighted the importance of unity and reflection within our community, reminding us of the courage and selflessness that protect the freedoms we enjoy today.
Sixth Form Garden by Mend the Gap
We are delighted to share that Denefield has received a generous grant from the Mend the Gap programme to develop a new Sixth Form Garden.
The project aims to transform an unused area of our grounds into a green, sustainable space where students can relax, study and connect with nature. Our Sixth Formers have already begun digging and planting, showing great enthusiasm and teamwork as they help shape this new addition to the school.
Funded through Mend the Gap, a programme supporting projects that enhance landscapes along the Great Western Main Line, this garden will not only improve our school environment but also contribute to local biodiversity and wellbeing.
Taekwondo Success for Denefield Students
We are very proud to share some fantastic news from the UK Open Taekwondo competition, held on 8 and 9 November with 430 competitors from across the UK and Europe.
Saiba won a gold medal in her sparring category, and Samar achieved a bronze medal. Both students faced challenging fights and progressed through knock-out stages to secure their places in the final rounds.
This is an excellent achievement and a proud moment for Denefield, reflecting the commitment and resilience we promote across our school community.
We are always pleased to celebrate student success and achievements outside school, so please feel free to share these with us via SAL@denefield.org.uk.
