Senior High Notes 12th January 2021

In my Senior Assembly this morning I linked buffalos, a stick of rock and the Dr Seuss quote “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” At Derby High we celebrate and are thankful that there is such variety and diversity in our school community. Each and every one of us has different personalities, eye colour, hair and talents. Individuality is a fundamental concept of our humanity and life would be so dull if we were all the same. And yet, we are not just about being individuals, we form communities, live together, eat together, sit and sing together. Getting individuals together – togetherness - has massive benefits.

Senior High Notes 8th January 2021

This week has been quite a whirlwind, as I am sure it has been for many of you, as we adapt with speed to the latest Lockdown conditions. I would like to thank you for all your support and positive feedback we have received this week, and I have shared with our teachers the wealth of complementary emails and Facebook comments you have been sending.

GCSE and A level Summer Examinations Cancelled

Whatever replacement assessment is ultimately put in place, teachers at Derby High are in an excellent position to assess the true potential of each student, as our small group sizes and regular assessments enable us to reflect on all data available. We have a wide range of information clearly indicating the ability and potential of each student and we will be using this in whatever way we can to highlight why our students should be awarded the grades we will recommend.
