Dear DCIS Parents,

Our Year 13 students are half way through their IB Mocks, it is extremely exciting that our second cohort of IB students will graduate later this year. For those interested in our Sixth Form, Years 12-13, the IBDP/BTEC Parent Workshop will take place tomorrow, 10th March, 8.45-9.30am in Cooper Hall, we look forward to welcoming all who registered for this event.

This week is British Science Week and the Science Department have created an exciting program of lunch time workshops for our Secondary students. Students interested in participating should see their science teacher to find out more.

I have been extremely impressed by the resilience of our students during these unusual past few weeks, with trips and sports fixtures being cancelled and assemblies being run without parents in the audience. On Friday our students in the primary school performed two wonderful assemblies, our children in Reception taught us all about Holi and our students in Year 4 shared what they had learned through their IPC topic, Temples, Tombs and Treasures. We are very proud of how well they all did on stage.

I was delighted to attend and participate in a tree planting ceremony led by our Year 4 students, it was wonderful to be part of such a meaningful event with such passionate global citizens.

Have a great week, and as always, please get in touch if you have any questions.
