We're back! Thank you so much for allowing and trusting us to take your child skiing in Austria. The children showed so much resilience and courage. We were often praised for how well they conducted themselves throughout the week - we are so proud of them!! A special week. One we won't forget! Huge thank you to Mrs Vaughan, Miss MacArthur & Mr Farr! Where next...? Have a great Easter break! Mr Thomas #teamdanebury #daneburyschool #daneburyontour

Skiing update: We are in Calais. Smooth drive through the night - most of us got some sleep! We were not able to get on the earlier ferry which means we will be back at school around 4pm. We will get the children to contact parents when we're an hour away from Danebury. MT #teamdanebury #teamdanebury #daneburyontour

Another stunning day here in Schladming. Sun shinning all day We enjoyed some pizza and ice cream last night! A lot of tired bodies amongst the group! Almost everyone still plodding along. I cannot emphasise just how much progress is being made! 25 of the kids have skied reds or blacks. So impressive!! Tomorrow is our last day on the slopes before we make our journey home!

Another absolutely beautiful day here in Austria. More of the same today! Yesterday morning was trickier for the guys as the freshly pisted slopes had frozen a little over night. But they were up to the challenge. The kids have shown such resilience and bravery. I could not be prouder!!! Spaghetti bolognaise was on the menu last night followed by some down time. Then we headed to a swimming complex - the kids loved it! The picture is from this morning! We are planning to get back to Danebury on Thursday around midday. The children will text parents when we get to Dover as well as an update here! MT #daneburyschool #teamdanebury #daneburyontour

Today we managed to have a little look around Schladming centre as we were ahead of schedule. All the guys have been fitted with skis, boots, helmets and poles ready for tomorrow morning. A lovely dinner this evening at our accommodation! A chilled evening after a long couple of days travelling, but always time for a Mr Farr quiz before down time! Stay tuned for skiing pictures tomorrow! MT #teamdanebury #daneburyschool #daneburyontour

Testimonials
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”
