The Friend (15)
Novelist and creative writing teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) commits suicide and bequeaths his beloved Great Dane to her. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend's choice to take his own life. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding to the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.

Parthenope (15)
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, The Hand of God) comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime. Born in the Bay of Naples in 1950, Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta) searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. But when tragedy strikes, and carefree romances lose their thrill, she decides to seek a deeper sense of purpose. Featuring a captivating performance from Dalla Porta and an outstanding cast that includes Gary Oldman, Parthenope is another tale of great beauty from a master of modern cinema.

Notifying School of Pupil Absences
We would like to remind parents and carers of the importance of informing the school promptly if your child is going to be absent.
If your child is unable to attend school, please notify the school by 8:30am on the first day of absence, ideally via our usual reporting method (email attendance@danebury.hispmat.org or submit on Arbor). This helps us ensure the safety of all pupils and maintain accurate attendance records.
If your child has a medical appointment during the school day, parents and carers are required to provide proof of the appointment, such as an appointment letter, text message, or screenshot. This enables the absence to be recorded correctly.
Good attendance plays a vital role in supporting pupils’ learning, wellbeing, and progress, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain high attendance standards across the school.
Thank you for your continued support.
