At The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust, the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our community is our top priority. In line with updated guidance, we are introducing a new approach to ensure that individuals who may need assistance during an emergency—such as those with disabilities or temporary mobility challenges—are fully supported.
The College recently held a pre-trip meeting for Parents, Guardians and Carers ahead of the upcoming residential trip to France and Belgium. The session provided important information about the itinerary, travel arrangements, safety measures, and expectations for students during the trip. Parents, Guardians and Carers had the opportunity to ask questions and ensure they were fully prepared for the experience, while staff highlighted the educational and cultural benefits of the visit. The meeting marked an important step in preparing students and families for what promises to be an a memorable and enriching oversees trip.

Triple P (Positive Parenting Programme) is an approach to raising teenagers that aims to promote appropriate teenager development and the management of teenagers’ behaviour in a constructive way.
On Monday 12th January, we were fortunate enough to be visited by our local MP, The Right Hon. John McDonnell. Mr McDonnell is a longstanding friend of our Trust and of De Salis and has been very giving of his time. So much so, in fact, that he joked, ‘I think they’re going to give me my own office at De Salis one of these days.’ Before Christmas a number of our students had expressed concerns about the increasingly divided world it seems that we live in. Mr McDonnell actually extolled the multicultural values we hold at De Salis and spoke about the need for communities to stick together, protect their most vulnerable members, and not buy into divisive dogma. This ties into our affirmation of values at De Salis: ‘In our diversity we are strong; In our strength we are united.’ We are grateful to have an MP who genuinely cares about our College and our students.
This week, De Salis students began the exciting ‘Girls Link Up’ Workshop, an inspiring eight-week programme that they have already thoroughly enjoyed. Designed to empower young women with the skills, confidence and knowledge to launch their own businesses, the workshop guides participants through the key stages of entrepreneurship. Students will explore how to identify business ideas, conduct market research, and develop strong business models before presenting their own startup concepts. Along the way, they’ll have the opportunity to connect with successful female entrepreneurs, receive valuable mentorship, and collaborate with like-minded peers.
This week, our school held an engaging assembly focused on the theme of making the right choices. The students actively participated and responded very positively to the important messages shared.
In celebration of National Poetry Day, students at De Salis Studio College embraced the power of words by creating their own original poetry. Students were tasked with crafting quatrains and rhyming couplets that reflected the diverse, aspirational, and inclusive culture of our college community. The results were both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Ms Massey has been as active as ever in providing extracurricular enrichment to our students. A life-affirming outing in the breathtakingly beautiful Chiltern Hills for some kite flying fun. This was followed by a descent to the Chess Valley and a geographically rare chalk stream which is home to many healthy brown and rainbow trout and the grayling (they all evaded capture).
