There’s something truly special about seeing parents join their children to celebrate success. At today’s Headteacher’s Rewards Brunch, organised by Mrs Davies, we welcomed parents to share in their child’s achievements recognising hard work, commitment & progress together.

Our Year 7s worked in teams to solve fraction equations; they created pictoral representations of the problems on our whiteboard tables then shared their answers with their teammates who used their IT skills to beat our fraction games! @derbyhighbury #interactivemaths #teamwork

The Int’ Changemakers made friends with Maruay and Wassana - the rescued elephants. They fed and walked with them, but in line with the ethical standards there is no riding or bathing here. They will be spreading the message from Khao Sok Elephant Sanctuary when they return.

The International Changemakers have been to visit the Thai Royal Navy Sea Turtle Sanctuary learning about the damage that plastic pollution - especially single use plastics - do to the marine environment. They saw new plastic collectors on the beach shaped as a whale & turtle.
