Denefield Events

 

Year 10 visit to Tate Britian

Our Year 10 students recently had a fantastic opportunity to visit Tate Britain in London, immersing themselves in the world of British art and culture.

During the visit, students explored the extensive gallery and viewed remarkable artworks ranging from historical to contemporary masterpieces, such as Alvaro Barrington's Grace and Chris Ofilis' Requiem.

The visit gave students a unique chance to connect with art in an exciting and engaging way outside the classroom. A big thank you to the Art Department for organising this memorable trip!

 

 

Sixth Form Enrichment

Our Sixth Form students were inspired by a visit from Taylor, a fitness trainer and entrepreneur, who shared her journey of personal growth and career success.

Over the past seven years, Taylor has built a thriving fitness app with her partner Liam, worked with leading international brands, and supported clients on their health and fitness transformations.

During her talk, Taylor shared her story of discovering her career, overcoming challenges, and ultimately running her own successful business. She inspired our students with advice on pursuing their dream careers, believing in oneself, and embracing life's changes.

The Year 9 GCSE/BTEC Level 2 Options Evening will take place at Denefield on Thursday 30 January 2025, from 6.00pm to 7.30pm. 

Due to the number of expected parents/carers and students attending the site, we have divided the year group by Houses. Therefore, we will invite parents/carers and students to the presentations in the main hall as follows:

  • Students in Kentwood and Langley House - families are to be seated in the Main Hall by 6.00pm, followed by the subject marketplace in Da Vinci from 6.20pm to 7.10pm.
  • Students in Norcot and Sulham House - families are to be seated in the Main Hall by 6.20pm, followed by the subject marketplace in the Da Vinci from 6.40pm to 7.30pm.

Please ensure you allow enough time to arrive on site, be registered and seated by your allocated time in the Main Hall. Registration for the event will be in the canteen with access from the back, by the courts (this will be signposted on the evening).

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday 30 January 2025 and sharing our GCSE/BTEC Level 2 programme of subjects with you.
