Mrs Hill has had the most amazing day today at Buckingham Palace for The King’s Garden Party, celebrating services in Education and Training. She reports the most delightful day and she got to shake hands with the King twice and wish him a good afternoon. She has very sore feet now but looks forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! It was such a proud moment to tell others there that she was the Headmistress of our wonderful school! She saw the King arrive in his car at Buckingham Palace and saw him leave too. (fb)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Hollywood Glamour Ball on Saturday 3rd May. It was a fantastic evening and lovely to see so many members of our community coming together in celebration.✨ The room looked stunning, and it was wonderful to see guests dressed up and enjoying the occasion. We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors, whose generosity helped make the evening possible: • Aztec Printing (Mr & Mrs Redford) for all the event printing • Hydrostar Europe Ltd (Mr & Mrs Gordon) for sponsoring the 360-photo camera • HiLights Entertainment – thank you to James for donating the photobooth and props • Hughes Bros Construction (Mr & Mrs Pallas) for the Shearer shirt auction prize and a whiskey raffle prize • HGT Construction Services (Mr & Mrs Todd) for the FIIK restaurant raffle prize • And to the Eagle family, for donating a private chef experience in memory of Poppy Eagle Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible support from our Parent and Friends and the Ball Committee to who we owe a huge thank you to each and every one of them. A special mention to Mrs Todd who works tirelessly to organise these events. We also want to take a moment to remember the Old Girls who over the many years have loved our school balls as much as we do, but who are sadly no longer with us, remembering especially Poppy. They remain very much part of our school family.💫 #DurhamHighSchool #DHSparentsandfriends #RamsideHall (fb)
