DJ Academy London – Start of a new partnership

On Tuesday 23rd January Duke’s began a new partnership with DJ Academy London. The local DJ Academy will be working with Duke’s students for 14 weeks in an after school programme focusing on DJ skills, lyric writing, composition and performance.

The local group have worked with some of our students before and currently have a recording studio on White Hart Lane. They came to Duke’s to launch the project and bought their DJ Car – a fully equipped car that meant students had a taste of some of the skills they will develop as part of the partnership.

Over 40 students have signed up to be a part of the DJ Academy programme and they’ll be mounting a showcase of student work in the summer term. It is great to have them with us!

TFL Workshops

On Friday 26th January our year 9 students took part in workshops with Transport for London and on behalf of the British Transport Police.

The workshops covered subjects of safety on the London travel network as well as harassment and consent – a big part of our staying safe curriculum and the wider student Personal Development Journey.

We’re very grateful to TFL and the British Transport Police for being able to deliver these fascinating and informative workshops.
