The week began with Mrs Harris’s assembly on the United Nations Rights and Responsibilities of Children. As we celebrated our diversity at Danes Hill, several teachers shared their backgrounds and introduced the children to their home languages. The thought of the week tied in neatly: being ...together, working together, and treating others how you wish to be treated.
Today’s assembly marked the launch of Mental Health Awareness Week, led by Mrs Cooper. Some thought-provoking considerations and questions, with a key takeaway: the most important relationship you have with anyone is with yourself. 💬🧠#mentalhealthawarenessweek2025 #daneshillprepschool ...#Contemporaryprepschool
Each week, Mr Baty shares a "Thought of the Week" with us during Monday assembly. This week’s focus: The Power of Teamwork. 🤝
