Danebury School

A very warm welcome to Danebury's latest additions, our 2 baby Pygmy goats! We will be asking our pupils to suggest names when we start the term on Thursday. Thinking caps on everyone! #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

A big shout out and an even bigger thank you to Vince Smith from Waste to Wonder for his generosity and kindness today. We found out that Vince and his family all went through Test Valley School as pupils, it's such a small world! Mrs Goodridge and Mrs Martin hired a van and drove to Dartford today to collect lots of furniture that Waste to Wonder donated to us free of charge. We packed the van to the rafters and are so excited about furnishing some new areas of the school. We think Year 11 are going to love having their own Common Room with the soft seating we collected today! Thanks again Vince! www.wastetowonder.com #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

It's been a great week for Riley Monk, not only has he walked away with a fabulous set of GCSE results today, but he has also become the British MMA Champion over the holidays, what an achievement! Riley has trained incredibly hard for years, it's great to see that hard work really does pay off. We have no doubt Riley will achieve his dream of going onto compete on a world stage! Chase your dreams Riley, we are right behind you! #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

Today we are celebrating the excellent achievements and progress of our students in this year's GCSE examinations. The Class of 2025 started their secondary school journey in Covid bubbles; they have shown such resilience in navigating their journey and achieving results which reflect their hard work and commitment. Our supportive and nurturing environment has ensured our students have thrived regardless of their starting points. A few of our standout results include: Elliot W achieved 7 grade 8s, 1 grade 7 and a grade 6 in Further Maths. Rosie W achieved 2 grade 8s and 3 grade 7s. Oliver L, our Head Student, achieved grades 8-6 in all subjects, including Further Maths. Megan R, our Head Student, made excellent progress and achieved grades 8-5 in all subjects. Will M achieved outstanding grades in English Literature and Language with a grade 7 and 8. Makayla S made excellent progress gaining grades 7-5 in all subjects. She will go on to study at the London School of Fashion in September. Tom H had a very challenging year, breaking both legs at different points but still managed to achieve 9 grades 7-5. Alfie E made exceptional progress gaining grade 5s and 4s in the majority of his subjects. Congratulations to our fantastic linguists Ben W, Carla V, Max T and Uliana K who achieved grade 9s in German, Spanish and Russian. Mrs Goodridge is so proud of the personal achievements of all Danebury students, "We are so proud of how our students have grown into confident, resilient young people. It's been an absolute privilege to help them develop their self-esteem and character, courage and determination to make positive changes in their lives. These results are a testament to those who studied hard over the past two years. We are delighted with the progress this year group have made, which builds on last year's huge improvements in pupil progress. I would like to express my gratitude to Team Danebury for all their hard work and support for our students, as well as parents and carers for their unwavering support. We look forward to seeing them continue to thrive in their future endeavours."
