Ellie and Dominic enjoyed a fantastic day at the Area 14 Eventing Qualifier, producing an excellent performance across all three phases to secure both an individual and team victory. The day began with dressage, where Ellie and Dominic delivered a superb test to score an impressive 20.6, putting them firmly into the lead of their section. It was a confident and polished performance that gave them the perfect start to the competition. Next came the show jumping phase. Despite a slight mistake resulting in 4 faults, Ellie and Dominic maintained their composure and remained in a strong position, dropping to 3rd place heading into the final phase. With everything still to play for, the pair tackled the cross-country course with determination. Riding positively and accurately, they produced a clear round, securing enough points to move back up the leaderboard and take 1st place in their section. The success didn't stop there. Ellie's result contributed to a brilliant overall team performance, with the team also taking the win and qualifying for the Regional Championships at Bicton, Devon, in August. It was a particularly impressive achievement given the extremely hot conditions throughout the day. Much of the time between phases was spent ensuring both ponies and riders stayed cool and hydrated, with plenty of washing off, water, and careful management in the summer heat. A fantastic day all round for Ellie and Dominic, showcasing excellent teamwork, resilience, and horsemanship. #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

Year 5 child only session was a great success! On Monday, we welcomed 60 students to experience what it's like to learn at Danebury school. Students were split into 4 groups and experienced 2 sessions. Due to the heat, we ensured they were well hydrated and in cooler areas of the school. The lessons were: Escape room in Maths. Under the microscope in Science. Taste and sensory testing with biscuits in Food Technology. Writing an opening to a spooky story in English. All students received a certificate, a pen or highlighter and a sweet for their impeccable behaviour and attitude to learning! It felt like these students all settled in well. It was like they were already part of our school community. We still have open evening and tours available in September if parents still want to see the site! All are welcome. Thank you to all parents, staff and primary schools for allowing your children / students to spend time with us! From Transition Team at Danebury #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

Year 10 take pole position at Silverstone! Our students explored the forces behind motorsport, discovered the importance and evolution of track safety and watched cars in action on the circuit. With a quick pitstop for lunch overlooking the iconic track, it was a day to remember! #teamdanebury #daneburyschool
