Today we are please to announce the launch of the new design for www.denbigh.net and the start of our new Learning Gateway (the Denbigh Portal).
We hope you will find using both these new website easier and the improved functionality will make the experience a more enjoyable one.
We will be adding more to the website in the coming weeks, including a Search feature and a Maps feature on the Contacts page. We shall also be testing and modifying the site for use in other browsers, such as Google's Chrome, Apple's Safari and the new version of Internet Explorer due out sometime towards the end of the year.
The Portal will continue to evolve in terms of design and content over the coming weeks, months and years but this is a huge job and we hope you will be patient.
If you do have any problems then please don't hesitate to contact me @: georgek@denbigh.net

Lectures #1: Has Cod had it's Chips?
The first lecture took place on Thursday, 6th Nov with a talk by Professor Paul Hart about our dwindling fish stocks.
Over 60 students attended the first lecture. Organiser, Deputy Headteacher Mr Squires was delighted with the turn out, he said:
“This is the third year that Denbigh has organised these lectures. They offer a fantastic opportunity for students to hear about scientific developments at the cutting edge. All the lecture topics have been chosen carefully so that they build on, and extend elements of the GCSE and A Level programmes of study.
The lectures are not just for Denbigh students, however, invitations have also gone out to other secondary schools in Milton Keynes so all students at this level can benefit.”
