We entered two teams into the Lord Mayor`s Quiz (for Sixth Forms in and around Birmingham).
The heroes in the picture came first. And second.
As in... yes, we were the best two teams out of all Sixth Forms in and around Birmingham 🥇🏆🥈 💪🏻🫶🏻

Attend all ten days, get zero demerits and at least 15 praise points and one of these could be yours in the end of year assemblies 😂
You will have already seen the beautiful #christmas chalk art on the windows around reception. This year our wonderful Sixth Form Art students did the work. Aren`t they talented? Art is a popular choice for Sixth Form - there are already 10 applications where Art is a choice for September.
We`ve been keeping our reception Christmas tree secret though (until now!). If you need to visit reception you might get to have a closer look 👀 at it but there is a video coming on our story too.
We will be giving some of the baubles out in our end of year assemblies on the last day of term. To have a chance of putting your favourite teacher on your tree at home (!) you need to attend for all ten of the remaining days of term, get no demerits and get at least 15 praise points #whowouldntwantateacherontheirchristmastree ?

Lovely to see the preparation going into @dofeuk Silver after school every week. This photo was from practising putting tents up and down. Thankfully not in the wind 🍃 we`ve got this weekend 🙌🏻
There are well over 100 students doing Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh in Years 9 and 10 as well as over twenty in Sixth Form doing Gold.

Girls` football at DSHS continues to grow and grow.
Our U13s (top picture) narrowly lost 3-2 to King Charles whilst our U16s stormed to a 2-0 lead against South Bromsgrove but conceded a cruel late goal to be pulled back to a 2-2 draw. Charlotte J in particular stood out in that game for her ability to defend tenaciously whilst also skilfully ensuring the team controlled possession.
Our U14s ran riot against Haybridge, beating them by 10 (ten) goals to one. ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Proud of you all, girls. Well played and thank you for representing the school so well in all three fixtures.
Thank you to the PE department for their support of the teams (and also to students leading by refereeing).

At the end of November our brilliant Sixth Formers visited two locations of the @fareshareuk charity. Fareshare attempt to minimise food waste and take what might have been wasted to feed those in need. This was a great experience for our Sociology students, whose curriculum includes learning about how poverty, inequality and disadvantage affects people, families and society in the UK.
As well having their eyes opened to the scale of the food poverty in the West Midlands, their voluntary work meant 2400 meals were delivered on the day they helped out.
Sociology is a really popular choice for Sixth Form. If you want more information check out the Sixth Form section of our website (or see Mrs Evans, Head of Sixth Form (left hand side of first photo) or Mrs Tallis (one in from the right on the same photo) for more information.
PS - don`t forget to follow @dshs6thforminsta for more Sixth Form news.

November`s winner of #scientistofthemonth is Lily G in R11RMF. She gets to sign the lab coat (!) and a lovely pic with a delighted Head of Science, Mrs Tindell. Well done Lily! Lily is planning to put her Science skills to good use in Criminology, Psychology and Health and Social Care in Sixth Form ❤️

DSHS students who are in the Droitwich detachment of the @armycadetsforce recently did an assembly to Year 8 (in two halves because the year group is so big!) sharing with them their experiences of being cadets and inviting them to come in for a trial. Every single aspect of the assembly was planned by them and, as you`d expect from the British Armed Forces, it was delivered to a really high standard. It was lovely to see young people so confident to talk in front of a large audience of peers and to do it so eloquently too. There were breakout sessions afterwards, where Year 8s had the chance to ask questions.
For parents: it is free to try, all kit is provided for free except the boots and the weekend / school holiday activities (sports, camping, shooting, crafts) are *hugely* subsidised. Loads of our students (including lots of girls) love it so definitely worth a closer look if your child is looking for a hobby or club. PS there are the Air Cadets and Fire Cadets too in Droitwich.
