All staff and governors at Denbigh are committed to providing the best possible education for our children.
Our aim is to maximise the potential of every child in school by striving to give them a broad, well balanced and creative, education. Most importantly we want our children to enjoy school and for all of them to reach their full potential, at home and at school, in partnership with parents.

✨ Story Dough has begun in Nursery! ✨
Today we introduced our children to the wonderful world of Story Dough — a magical way of developing vocabulary, imagination and early storytelling skills.📖
Story Dough helps our children begin to orally tell their own stories, building the foundations they will need as they move further up the school and eventually begin writing their own stories.
We start by giving the children the story, characters and setting. As the weeks go by, the children will gradually take over, creating their own characters, places and scenarios, and deciding what happens next.
And, of course, every Story Dough adventure involves our special friend Alexander the puppet! Alexander brings an extra element of wonder and excitement to our storytelling, encouraging the children to become completely immersed in the story — all while creating with dough.
Today, our story linked beautifully with our focus book Maisy Goes to Nursery. Maisy was walking on her way to school when she realised she had lost her toy bunny!
But with a little Story Dough magic, Maisy was able to find a friend who helped her search for her lost toy. The children used their dough to create characters and talked about what might happen next.
We can’t wait to see how their imaginations grow and how their stories develop over the coming weeks!
Who knows what adventures Alexander and the Story Dough will take us on next? 💭✨

Year 4 Giraffes have been learning all about how our land is divided during their geography lessons. Yesterday, they were able to look at a variety of maps and use the scale to calculate distances between different cities and towns. They worked alongside others and applied their knowledge of conversions. #dcpscore #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsgeography #dcpsmaths

🚨🔥 Fire Alarm Practice! 🔥🚨
Today we took part in a whole-school fire alarm practice, and our Nursery children were absolutely amazing!
They listened carefully, followed instructions and sensibly made their way outside — without a single tear!
We were so proud of how calm and confident they were.
Afterwards, the children had the exciting opportunity to explore and play with some fire engines outside,which made the experience even more memorable. We talked about why we practise fire alarms and how these important drills help to keep us all safe.
We also chatted about the wonderful people who help keep us safe, including firefighters, and the important jobs they do in our community.
Well done, Nursery — you were fantastic! 🌟🚒🔥

👩🍳 Caterpillar Cooks in Nursery! 👨🍳
We had a fantastic time during our Mantle session, where the children took on the exciting role of Caterpillar Cooks!
Chef Shelly gave us a special challenge – to create a brand-new lunch menu for the children at Denbigh School. 🍽️
Our little chefs got busy using the home corner, mud kitchen, sand pit, sensory tray, playdough and drawing to develop their ideas and bring their menu designs to life.
There were lots of imaginative dishes, creative thinking and wonderful conversations as the children worked together to decide what should go on their menu.

We our loving our Space topic in Dragon class. We have been learning all about what it is like on each planet, what it is like being an astronaut and why planet earth is the perfect planet to live on. One of our tasks was to create an information poster about all of the planets in the solar system. #dcpsdragon #dcpshistory #dcpscore
