Head Teacher's Message
Welcome to the Denbigh School website, which we hope will provide you with an insight into our thriving and successful School and show you how we could help your son or daughter realise their potential and equip them for adult life.
Our mission statement is ‘Creating a culture of success to extend lifetime opportunities for young people' and all that we do encourages this.
We are delighted that the School's recent Ofsted Inspection rated the School as “Outstanding”. The report, which offers an independent view of the School, can be accessed via the Ofsted website or we can provide you with a paper copy on request.
We offer students a supportive, well disciplined and dynamic learning environment that enables them to focus on their studies and extra curricular activities. As a result, students achieve academic and technological excellence and extend their sporting, artistic and musical accomplishments.
The School fosters personal development that helps students to find meaning in their lives and respond with creativity and determination to the challenges that arise through the rapid pace of social change.
We believe that for students and the School to succeed there needs to be a genuine spirit of partnership between students, the School and parents. We look forward to working with you to provide that effective education for your son or daughter.
We hope the Prospectus gives you a flavour of our School but to discover more we would invite you to come and visit the School to see what we have to offer.
Our Open Evening for new Year 7 students is on Thursday 22nd October 2009, but we are happy to arrange visits at other times during the year.
I would also encourage you to tour our website to gain a further insight into our School.
