Today, some of the Year 10s spent the day at the Peter Symonds Taster Day. It gave the students an opportunity to try out some of the subjects, explore the campus and learn about life as a college student! If you would like to visit Peter Symonds, their open evenings are on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd July. Sign up here: https://psc.ac.uk/open

View this postThe latest instalment of our Danebury Food Blog... #teamdanebury #daneburyschool #daneburyfoodblog Danebury Food Blog – 13 June 2025 There is nothing better than a home-cooked meal that is quick and nutritious. Each week we will be sharing recipes that have been nominated by pupils or members of staff, that are more delicious than freezer food and considerably cheaper than ordering a takeaway. In addition, we will be sharing news about the fantastic food preparation undertaken by our pupils. Pupil Choice Recipe A number of pupils have requested the recipe for the "healthy" Churros that a few of them have experienced in their Food lessons and in their Loric session. So here it is: Crumpet Churros Ingredients 4 crumpets, sliced into thin fingers 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 2 tbsp golden caster sugar, plus extra for serving 2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for serving Method Place the crumpet fingers in a bowl, drizzle over the melted butter and stir to coat the crumpets. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, and then sprinkle onto the crumpet fingers. Mix everything together then place in the air fryer for 5–6 minutes at 180C. Add extra sugar and cinnamon to the churros to taste, and serve alongside chocolate sauce for dipping. This version is from bbc.co.uk/food Please do try this at home and enjoy!

They are a credit to our school. Below is a snippet from the Headteacher at Winterbourne Earls School. Here is a picture of them in action during our annual space hopper race, which concludes the sports day. #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

Hi, I'm Makayla, I would love to share a part of my journey throughout Danebury with you.
Danebury has been through so many changes (for the better), immensely empowering every student and allowing them to exceed expectations.
Luckily, Danebury's new changes have encouraged me into becoming the person I am today! Unfortunately, during the beginning of my journey throughout Danebury, I immensely struggled meeting my potential.
I suffered from anxiety which stopped me from attending school and my lessons.
However, a colossal amount of encouragement from staff has led me into attending school every day, attending my lessons and achieving admirable grades in my mocks. Compounded by tremendous offers from colleges such as FRA (fashion retail college) in London.
I am endlessly appreciative of those who supported me throughout school, and I will never forget those who have shaped me into who I am today.
Year 11
“I think our school has made a significant transition, enhancing our community feel and kind atmosphere. I think I will leave Danebury as an empowered young woman, with life skills from lessons and our LORIC program which I can carry on through which ever career path i choose”
Year 11
I am so glad that I have stayed with this school, I can fully appreciate how the quality of teaching has improved and how much safter I feel with teachers. I now enjoy coming into Danebury and feel like I will be fully prepared to leave with skills I have learned here from PSHE lessons and the LORIC program
“Danebury school has improved so much as they have communicated and listened to students more since Mrs Goodridge has joined and she has found ways to apply it to our time at school so we are happy and enjoy our time here”
"Danebury school has improved in the academic game for all years throughout the school, much support is placed through our school and as we hope it will keep growing and expanding along with our Danebury family. After our school’s "rebirth" the effort Mrs Goodridge has put into creating a kind diverse economy here at Danebury and so far has succeeded. We really do thank Mrs Goodridge for improving our school massively and not just a learning environment but a little Danebury family.
“Danebury is a school that never fails to impress. Be it the humble, inclusive and joyful atmosphere. Or the tailored, challenging, productive lessons that always leave you enriched with new knowledge"
“Danebury school is a school that has really turned around from how the school used to be. We now have a great atmosphere around safeguarding with a diverse pastoral team. The performance of Mrs Goodridge is making the school so much better with more education towards how people are dealt with. As well as more inclusive activities in lessons to keep everyone engaged in learning”
