Over my last few assemblies in Primary we have been following the Atlantic Challenge, a 3000 mile rowing race from La Gomera, Canary Islands to Antigua. 35 teams set off on Thursday December 12th all hoping to arrive in Antigua first.
This week has flown by, and for our U5 it has been a busy full week of mock examinations. Our U6 have now completed their mocks and are receiving their grades along with advice, support and targets to ensure they achieve their potential in the summer.
Happy New Year! It was wonderful to welcome our students and staff back this week filling the school with lovely chatter and laughter.

The music department at Derby High has a proud history of wowing audiences with outstanding performances, and Monday evening’s Senior Christmas Concert was no exception. It was wonderful to hear from such a variety of individuals, groups, ensembles and choirs. It really showcased the depth of talent from our students.
An enormous amount has been accomplished this term by pupils and staff.
I am very much looking forward to our major seasonal events next week - the Senior Christmas Concert on Monday and the Carol Service on Thursday in Derby Cathedral.
Derby High is now officially on “Countdown to Christmas” with a whole host of festive jumpers worn today, as we support a very good cause - YMCA. A big thank you to our wonderful catering team for the fabulous Christmas lunch today.
