Aujourd’hui nous sommes allés en France. Nous avons visité un mémorial de guerre et une ville qui s’appelle Albert. Ici nous avons visité un musée de la Somme, et selon moi, c’était vraiment intéressant. Après ça, nous sommes arrivés au Château de Warsy. Nous avons mangé le dîner et puis nous avons joué un jeu qui s’appelle ‘Buddy’. Je pense que, et mes amis pensent que ce n’était pas très amusant! Après le jeu, mon amie et moi avons dormi mais mes autres amis ont joué jusqu’à vingt-deux heures moins le quart!

Aujourd’hui, nous sommes allés à Amiens, une grande ville avec une cathédrale qui s’appelle Notre Dame d’Amiens. C’était extrêmement grand et intéressant donc c’était difficile de partir! Après ça, nous sommes retournés à Warsy, où nous avons mangé le déjeuner. Après le déjeuner, nous avons joué aux sports nautiques. Par exemple, nous avons fait du canoë-kayak et c’était très ludique!
dimanche premier juillet
Aujourd’hui nous sommes allés à Paris! Nous sommes partis très tôt, mais quand nous sommes arrivés, nous sommes montés la Tour de Montparnasse où nous avons vu beaucoup de Paris. Après ça, nous avons visité la Tour Eiffel et il faisait très chaud! Plus tard, nous sommes partis prendre un bateau mouche sur la Seine. Nous avons vu Notre Dame de Paris et c’était chouette! Puis nous sommes retournés à Warsy où nous avons joué au volley-ball!
lundi 2 juillet
Aujourd’hui nous sommes rentrés en Angleterre. Avant de rentrer, nous avons visité une ville au bord de la mer qui s’appelle Le Touquet et c’était très amusant! Nous avons mangé des crêpes. Puis nous avons visité un hypermarché où nous avons acheté beaucoup de bonbons! Finalement nous sommes arrivés à Calais et nous sommes rentrés à l’école à vingt heures.
C’était des vacances géniales!

On Monday 9 July2018, a number of musically talented students from year 7-12, took to the stage at St George’s Church, Deal as part of the Deal Music and Arts Festival.
The audience were treated to a fantastic programme, including Piano Trio in A minor by Ravel, Appalachian Spring by Copland and Blue Monk by our very own Jazz Journey performers.
Our students have been benefiting from termly workshop sessions with Jazz experts, who have been teaching the group the rudiments of Jazz theory as well as working through some Jazz standards and performance skills as an ensemble. Please take a look at the videos of them performing Blue Monk as an ensemble - of purely Dane Court students.
The concert finished with a composition commissioned by London Chamber Orchestra, which explores the idea of Simple Gifts, a composition from 1848 by Joseph Brackett. The melody may be recognisable as Lord of The Dance, explored through various interesting and progressive harmonic journeys.
Well done to all involved, it was a fantastic concert and one which showed how lucky we are to have such musically talented students within the school.
Students involved; Rohan Terenghi, Maria Munnich, Joseph Chesters, Ruby Naylor, Jonah Knight and Mikey Chesters.
A Dane Court Grammar School teacher, Ceri Diffley, has been recognised for her outstanding work with our students studying Business and Finance subjects.
A Dane Court student studying Geography as part of her International Baccalaureate Diploma has been recognised for the exceptionally high standard of her GCSE studies in the same subject over the last two years.
The Awards for Excellence in Geographical Learning are presented annually by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) to the students who have achieved the highest marks nationally in the geography examinations.
The Dane Court Grammar School Parents Association's monthly boot fairs usually take place at the school from 6:30am on the second Saturday of each month with breaks over winter and during the summer holiday.
