    During Enrichment week, students in Year 10 embarked on an unforgettable autumn adventure during the deer rutting season. Building on the success of last year’s outing, they set out to track wildlife and were rewarded with incredible sightings of five large herds. The students observed majestic stags, mixed groups, and playful fawns and juveniles that looked straight out of a scene from Bambi!

    On the first day of half term, a packed mini-bus headed to the Chiltern Hills. After a bracing walk across the rolling hills, which afforded some spectacular views across this AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) it was into Hodgemoor Woods for a little shelter building before moving on to the Colne Valley Nature Reserve. It was lovely to watch some sailing on Bury Lake, then on to the peaceful Stockers Lake to observe and appreciate the amazing range of birds that call this home.

  • Cadbury World

    Published 01/11/24

    The Year 11 students were taken on an educational trip to Cadbury World in the West Midlands. De Salis being a Business college, they were all fascinated to learn more about how a multinational corporation deals with production processes, marketing and branding. The everyday ubiquity and familiarity of some of the products gave the trip a real life feel that our students could relate to. They behaved impeccably and asked incisive, intelligent questions. They were even allowed to have a little fun.

  • Anti-Slavery Day

    Published 25/10/24

    On Friday 18th October, we observe Anti-Slavery Day which falls within Black History Month and was the theme of this week’s Full College Assembly. This is a very important day to raise awareness about the issue of modern slavery and human trafficking, which unfortunately still affect millions of people worldwide, including children and adults. Modern slavery takes many forms, including forced labor, child exploitation, and human trafficking. It is important for us all to understand that even though slavery was abolished many years ago, it still exists in different ways today, often hidden but very real. In our affirmation of values, we say ‘’In our strength we are united / In our unity we are De Salis.’’ As a community we hold that nobody should be treated as inferior because of any arbitrary difference. This is a core belief that is central to our College’s ethos. It is important to recognise that injustices have happened throughout human history, but it is even more important that we learn from them. A special assembly was held where we watched a short video and heard stories about how young people around the world are taking action against exploitation. Together, we can help spread awareness and fight modern slavery. Let’s all be part of the solution!
