Every week I send out via parentmail a Headteacher’s Bulletin to all students, parents, staff and governors with the latest news, important notices, and exciting opportunities around the Milton Keynes area. The current bulletin is set out for you below along with previous bulletins from this term.
16 January Headteacher’s Bulletin
Dear Parent/Carer,
I hope this bulletin finds you well and you have had a pleasant week.
Sixth Form Open Evening
On Wednesday 14th January, we were delighted to host our Sixth Form Open Evening, welcoming prospective students and their families to explore the range of opportunities available at Denbigh. The event had a fantastic turnout and the building was full of energy. It was wonderful to see so many visitors engaging with subject teachers, hearing about our different enrichment options, and talking to current students about their experience at Denbigh. I was incredibly proud of our Sixth Form students who represented the school with such maturity, warmth, and confidence. A special mention must go to our student speakers, whose gave articulate speeches during the evening presentation, well done Angel and Lucas. It was a memorable evening that showcased the strength, ambition, and community spirit of our Sixth Form. Please see our Think Denbigh flyer for more details.
Student Success
Jamie Leroux in Year 12 has gone from strength to strength in the Judo. Jamie recently became a British Champion after winning gold at Judo’s British National Championships in December. Jamie’s gold medal performance topped off an incredible year for him, as he also won gold at the English Championships & the English Open and secured his place in the England Development Squad. Well done Jamie, keep working hard!
Parents Forum
Please see the attached invite from our local MP Emily Darlington. Emily is hosting a parents forum on online safety on Thursday 29 January 2026 at 7:00 pm. This will be an open conversation where parents, carers and local people can discuss their experiences, share their views on issues including social media age limits, online harms, and protecting children online. She will then take these forward to Government. Anyone interested in attending should email Emily’s office at Emily.darlington.mp@parliament.uk, and she will provide the venue address.
