    Stockbridge Community Cinema were kind enough to host our Christmas 'Celebration of Excellence'. Around 80 students from across all year groups were nominated by staff for achieving excellence within one of our four school values: kindness, excellence, resilience and empowerment. This could have been from extra -curricular activities, academic success to actively seeking support. Our students watched then animated film 'flow' which tackles environmental issues along with working together to overcome them. All students were fantastic and an asset to the school from their behaviour walking down to the site, to cleaning up after themselves. Well done to all involved! Special 'thank you' to Mrs Martin, Mr Draper and Mrs Lewis-Elgar for taking the time out of their days to support the trip. Not forgetting Miss Barton who organised the event. #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

    Tonight, we hosted The Clere for some Netball. They were extremely organised and showed a lot of skill with both year groups top of their respective leagues. Our Year 8/9 team showed tremendous resilience and battled throughout the game. We had a lot more success late on, winning quarter 3 (4-2), but ultimately the damage was done earlier in the game. Defensive player of match: Hattie Offensive player of the match: Lara On to the Year 10 & 11's who still stand a chance of winning their league, but faced tough opposition (league leaders). We were nothing short of tremendous. Every player. Every position. Danebury 17-7 The Clere. Fantastic performance which keeps us in the hunt for a league title medal. Defensive player of match: Raya Offensive player of the match: Amelie Well done to all the girls! Thank you to Mrs Elgar for officiating and helping the girls.

    Big 'shout out' to Samuel C who played a brutal game of Rugby today, representing Hungerford against Newbury . Samuel took some really hard hits but gave plenty back, earning himself man of the match. #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

    Testimonials

  • I just wanted to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for supporting and making my child's transition to Danebury school so faultless.
    My child joined a week before summer holidays. Prior to her joining Danebury she was in a very unhappy place at school, upset , anxious, spending her break times alone in the toilets and missing lessons.
    Since joining the Danebury she is happy , chatting smiling and enjoying school. She comes out of school smiling and happy and has made some really wonderful new friends who have been so lovely at including her it feels like she’s always been at the school.

    So thank you for turning my child’s school life around she actually looks forward to school and doesn’t dread it anymore. She’s very happy and as a mum that’s all we want for our children. I have already recommended Danebury school to people I know and I will continue to do so.

  • 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.

  • “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”

  • 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”

    Alisa

  • "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"
