This morning in assembly, Mrs Small spoke to our Year 7 cohort about the importance of kindness and looking after one another, as part of our ongoing commitment to anti-bullying. 💛 We are incredibly proud of the thoughtful way our Year 7's engaged with the assembly and look forward to seeing their actions reflect the values at the heart of our school community. 🫶 #begoodbekindworkhard #teamdestafford #antibullying

Well done to our Year 7s who played their first football game last week losing out to Oxted 3-0. A very undeserved score line after a great first half from the boys. We look forward to playing Oxted again in two weeks time in the national cup. Motm: Logan T ❤️🖤⚽️☀️💪

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Macmillan Coffee Morning last Friday – whether you attended, baked, donated, helped out, or simply enjoyed a slice of cake with a cup of tea or coffee. Thanks to your incredible support, our event was another wonderful success, and we are delighted to announce that we raised nearly £1,500 (which is our biggest total ever.....and there's still more to come!) 💚🧁🍰☕ #teamdestafford #proud #macmillancoffeemorning
