  • A Night on the Red Carpet

    Published 28/07/23

    As a celebratory finish to the culmination of Year 11, Students at De Salis and across The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust came together for their ‘Night on the Red Carpet’ prom. From topnotch cars, fancy dresses and even shiny tuxedos, the Year 11 Prom was certainly the event of the year! Students enjoyed their time on the dance floor whilst making use of the photo booths and trying their hand at the 360 cameras before the night ended off with a traditional Prom King and Queen crowning, followed by a vote of greatest teacher, which went to none other than our Assistant Principal, Mr Donning. The students had a night to remember, and our staff are extremely proud of the young adults they are becoming.

  • Post 16 Visit to J.P. Morgan Chase

    Published 07/07/23

    On Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th July, 30 of our current Post 16 Year 12 students were afforded the opportunity to visit the J.P. Morgan Chase offices in Embankment and Canary Wharf. This was made possible through the Trust’s current partnership with Diversity Org. During the visits, students were given the chance to interact with employees from the J.P. Morgan Chase office through custom-made workshops: • Career Exposure Panel - A panel discussion where representatives from the company share their past route of education and career path. • Financial Health & Literacy – A panel discussion where students learn financial responsibility (e.g. spending & saving habits), how to establish credit and understand how interest rates work. • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome – A panel discussion aimed to help students build the confidence needed to speak on their skills and accomplishments as well as identify imposter syndrome triggers.
