On Friday 29th June staff, parents, carers and friends bade a fond farewell to our leavers in our traditional
manner - a barbecue and presentation in the grounds of DLC itself.
A good gathering enjoyed the hearty fare, prepared by our very own catering team, whilst seated in a
square of marquees decorated in bunting. Indeed the gathering resembled a village enjoying a summer
fete as our Headteacher, John Taylor, prepared to make his annual address.
After recognising the endeavour of students and staff alike, each Year 11 leaver was called up to receive
their Record of Achievement to warm applause.
Later there were Curriculum and Special Awards to present and, after many years teaching Maths and
English, to wish both Janet and Judith happy retirements.
