Denmark Road High School

Having spent seven years at Denmark Road High School I have so many fond memories, particularly as being in the Sixth Form has brought more independence and opportunities. I have especially loved taking part in House events such as House Dance as there is a great team bond across the year groups and a fun, competitive atmosphere plus they offer a chance to go off timetable and show our skills in other areas. I have loved my time at this school and would not change any of it as it has helped shape me into who I am today. I recently completed five A Levels; Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. As there wasn’t enough space on my timetable for everythi

Denmark Road supported my academic and personal development since year 7 to align with and facilitate my future aspirations. I studied A-Levels in Economics, Maths, and Biology and am now studying Land Economy at Cambridge. What stands out to me is the sense of community that develops within the year groups and between students and staff. This has always provided an encouraging learning environment where peer support is a fundamental part of our studies, super-curricular exploration, and applications. Personally, the opportunities provided from the start of year 7 to build confidence and communication skills through group proj

I love the environment at Denmark Road - everyone is friendly and approachable, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. You can always ask someone from your class for help, even if you aren’t necessarily friends. The teachers are also amazing and always ready to help you understand and achieve your best. Denmark Road had countless opportunities for me to participate in. Some that I have most valued were the Step-Up programme with Oxford, the Work Experience week at the end of Year 10 and 12, and the UCAS fair in March of Y12. Additionally, there are lots of clubs to run and get involved in, so there’s always something for you to be doing! Last year I was part

The Physics course is great here as it covers gravitational fields, astrophysics and cosmology. These are some of my key interests and I would like to follow a career in Aerospace Engineering or Astrophysics following a degree apprenticeship. An opportunity I really appreciate at Denmark Road Sixth Form is getting to have PE with the entire Sixth Form at the same time. We also have a Mixed football team so I am enjoying playing in a team at school and experiencing mixed football. Teachers encourage us to have balance in our lives and this helps me to keep up my interests in rugby and going to the gym. Plus the usuals of playing Xbox games and seeing my friends! If

Alumni

Hiya! My name is Lexie, and I studied English Literature, Politics, History, and an EPQ. I enjoyed my time at Denmark Road immensely, gaining opportunities through the school such as the Edge programme, Boost, and being a part of a multitude of clubs. During year 12, I led Pride Society, and attended Debate Club, participated within the Carnegie Book Award Club, worked with Year 7s to provide a homework club on a Friday afternoon, and became a Library Prefect. Later in the year I became a House Captain for Mynd (something I have thoroughly enjoyed throughout my later Sixth Form career) and became the only student to complete the two-year long Edge programme within a sing

Denmark Road High School is diverse, reflective and supportive. Some of my favourite experiences in my time here were the fundraisers and charity events that both staff and students put on. We regularly had jumble sales in aid of relevant causes such as the Children in Gaza Crisis Appeal, helping us to; clear out things we don’t need any more, actively be more sustainable and focus on how we can support those in crisis across the world. Plus they’re fun events and there’s always a real buzz amongst everyone as they buy and sell in the hall. My teachers encouraged us to discover our own interests and take time for us, away from our studies. We were not s

I came to Denmark Road because the course content was really clear and I was able to choose options to suit me. Even though I was new to the school, I found that it’s really easy to get along with everyone and all students want to do well. This made working together easier as we all shared a common goal. The shared and independent study spaces were really helpful, particularly when meeting a deadline, as I had dedicated space to work in. I had a great relationship with all my teachers and it’s easy to communicate outside of lessons. All students in the Sixth Form have PE at the same time so it gave us great opportunities to get to kn

My favourite subject that I study here is Business and I hope to go on to study a degree apprenticeship with a bank in London in the future. I also really enjoy sport and being part of the Mixed Football Team is good fun. Outside of school I like to go to the gym - we also get time to do this on our Sixth Form PE day - and spend time with my friends or go for walks. Joining Denmark Road Sixth Form has shown me that there are lots of new, friendly people to meet. There is a relaxed atmosphere here as well all know everyone is committed to studying independently in order to succeed.
