As you will be aware, our annual Medieval Banquet is taking place on the afternoon of Wednesday, 25th March.

We are still inviting "consent letters" for any students who are brave enough to volunteer for the stocks! If your child would like to participate in this particular historical re-enactment, please send in a brief note of permission.

Our external judges, all professional musicians, were blown away by the excellent quality of the performances. They particularly noted the impressive surge in participation this year, proving that the musical spirit at Dane Court is stronger than ever.

The competition was split into three distinct categories, each bringing its own unique energy to the stage.

We launched this project in mentoring last week but on Monday students will working on planning, developing their own business ideas in groups. The winning group of each mentor group will go through to the Y8 Make it my business final on 2nd April. Good luck!!!

We provide a dedicated, quiet space during the school day for you to focus, catch up on projects, and tick off your to-do list before you even leave the building.

Whether you need a calm environment away from the noise

or just want to get ahead of your deadlines, the Homework

Club is here to help you stay on top of your game.

We stayed in a nice hotel (Orsa Maggiore) where the staff were really friendly and didn't mind opening room doors to locked out children many times during the week.  Some enjoyed the games room and even the sauna at the hotel.

Join us for a vibrant, collaborative afternoon as the Music Department and the Library team up to honour the incredible women in our lives and our global community. This isn’t just an event—it’s a living gallery of music, literature, and shared stories.

The first half transported us into a world of cinematic elegance with a more classical focus. From the soaring melodies of the Orchestra and Wind Band to the rambunctious harmonies of the Brass groups and delicate balance of the Junior strings, the standard was truly professional. Our Junior, Senior, and Adult choirs filled the hall with warmth, while the Bucket Drumming group brought a rhythmic energy that had everyone tapping along. A special shout-out to Suzie, who successfully completed her CMM for IB Music by composing for and leading the drummers—an incredible achievement!
