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.

22nd May Headteacher’s Bulletin

Dear Parent/Carer,

I hope this bulletin finds you well as we come to the end of the half term. On behalf of the staff at Denbigh I wish you and your families a relaxing and enjoyable break. I hope that you are able make the most of the lovely weather ahead.

Helmets and Road Safety

I would like to give a polite reminder of the importance of your child wearing a helmet for their safety when cycling to and from school. We have had a recent incident that highlights the risks involved. This week alone, the school has received three emails from members of the public expressing concern about students not paying attention on the roads, which is putting both themselves and others at risk. It is important that all students remain alert, follow road safety rules, and act responsibly at all times. Additionally, students should be aware that they are not permitted to drive e-scooters, as this is both unsafe and not allowed under current regulations.

As a reminder, please do not drive into the front school car park during the morning drop off and afternoon collection of students.  There are cones to prevent people driving through for the safety of everyone during these busy times.

Study Leave

Our Year 11 students start their study leave today. The link below is a useful platform to support and guide students through their revision and exams.

I would like to encourage Year 11 and Year 13 students to stay focused and make the most of their revision time, take regular breaks, and make use of all available support from teachers and resources. Remember that consistency and effort now will make a real difference to your final results. Keep a positive mindset, look after your wellbeing, and stay motivated. Good luck to all of you—keep going, you’re nearly there!

Word of the week

This week the word is Vociferous, which means to speak or express opinions very loudly and forcefully. It often describes someone who is outspoken, energetic, or even a bit aggressive in how they communicate their views.
