A huge thank you to all the Year 7 parents and carers who joined us for our Community Breakfast this morning.

It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, share conversations and celebrate the start of the school year. We were delighted to welcome so many families into school and to hear such positive feedback about how well students have settled into life at DHSG.

Thank you for your support, your encouragement and for helping us create such a warm and welcoming community.

We look forward to seeing you at future DHSG events.

I publicly wish to thank the teaching and support staff that prepared the hall and meals and the team of amazing sixth form students who looked after refreshments.
