A phenomenal World Book Day @DennyHighSchool! Everyone looked fantastic (especially the English department, but I may be biased) 📚🎈🤡🩸❤️

Happy World Book Day, everyone! Today is all about inspiring children to see reading differently, because reading for fun seriously improves lives. Thanks for joining the fun! #WorldBookDay

So excited to see this book come to life! Fantastic opportunity for young people too!!

Classroom set up ✅ Seating plans completed ✅ Lessons for the rest week planned ✅ Ready for the pupils to return tomorrow! Excited to be beginning a new school year in the same school! Very new and surreal experience but far less stressful 😅

P7 Induction day was fantastic! The pupils were so well behaved and all completed the ‘What’s your favourite word?’ task beautifully! They are all looking forward to coming up after the summer and I’m very excited to meet my new S1 classes! 😁🤍📚 #prideindennyhigh

Easter School 2025 Complete! ✅🥳 48 pupils attended Nat 5 English over the four sessions, they were fantastic and completed all the work to the best of their ability! (Despite the lovely sunshine outside 😅) #prideindennyhigh @DennyHighSchool

Meet the Literacy Leaders! 💜 #dennyhigh #dennyhighschool

Happy International Women’s Day! So many wonderful women have inspired me, some being very close and some who have produced beautiful work which highlights what it means to be a woman! 🩷 #InternationalWomenDay2025 #InternationalWomensDay

Happy World Book Day! The festivities today included door decorating, black out books and an update to the class library! 😁📚 #WorldBookDay #worldbookday2025

My wonderful Literacy Leaders have created an Instagram to let everyone know about their fantastic work! Please give it a follow! 😊 instagram.com/dhs_literacyle…

Fantastic work from the Higher cohort today! We completed an RUAE carousel task, focussing on understanding questions as this is one of our areas for development! Some really good answers and brilliant teamwork! 😁⭐️ #ruae #higherenglish #englishteacher

When Carol Ann Duffy said ‘I give you an onion’, this is what she meant.

NEW BOOK DAY Bought some lovely Jane Austen books from @Costco for the class library and they are gorgeous! 😍

@YoungWritersCW My S1 class love these books, it would be a fantastic addition to the class library 🤩👺🤡👻

We're going big for the 4th Book of Giftmas with this bumper pack of Goosebumps! 18 BOOKS! It would make a fab Christmas gift. To enter, follow us, like and share this post and comment with a spooky emoji!

The pupils are really looking forward to getting involved in this fantastic competition!

So excited to officially say that I am now a permanent teacher at Denny High School 🥹 So grateful and very excited to continue to develop in such a fantastic school! 🥰

S3 were ‘pure buzzin’ to have James Faddes in with them to discuss his experiences with the gang life and Scottish Prison system. The pupils came up with some fantastic questions based on their knowledge of gang life from the @G_Armstrong21 novel ‘The Young Team’ 🤩
