Durham High School End of Week Newsletter Issue 7 – 20 October 2024
Dear Parents This week has been vibrant and full of creativity, beginning with our muchanticipated Bake Off! Under the expert guidance of Mrs Smith in Pre-Prep and Prep, supported by Mrs Beattie and Mrs Scott, our students whipped up an impressive array of cakes. In the Senior Department, Mrs Henderson and Mrs Almond took on the role of Star Baker judges, marvelling at the incredible talent on display. The cakes were not only delightful to behold but also served a greater purpose, as we raised funds for our chosen charities: Action Against Hunger in Pre-Prep and Prep, and the Durham and Sunderland Food Bank in the Senior Department. Stay tuned for the announcement of our Senior Department winners next week during our final assembly of the half term! Pre-Prep and Prep Winners are announced below. We’ve included a few photos below but be sure to check our social media channels for a glimpse of all the fabulous entries.
On Tuesday, our Year 9 Geography students embarked on their fieldwork project, investigating crime in Durham. Luckily, the rain held off just long enough for them to enjoy their outing!
