Welcome

The first trial examinations are on Monday. Good luck Year 11 and 13 - you have got this! Use the weekend wisely for revision, but also a good night sleep on Sunday. #Belonging #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri

It is @scholarsedtrust anti-bullying conference today, with students from The Hemel Hempstead School joining their peers from across the trust. #Belonging #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri

There is a global problem with Microsoft. We may not be able to send or receive emails today, OneNote and Teams may not work, Bromcom and MCAS may be affected. We are reliant of Microsoft solving this, so we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding if communication is difficult today.

This morning the whole school joined our live stream Remembrance Service, with Eddie Gateshill in Year 10 playing a beautiful and poignant last post, readings from our student leaders and a stunning rendition of 'In remembrance' by Jeffery Ames, from our Chamber Choir. After, our Head and Deputy Head students laid a wreath at the Town Memorial at St John's Church. #WeWillRememberThem #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri #Belonging

Well done to 8N, who in their Geography lesson yesterday, donned warm coats and old shoes, to help plant over 200 native trees at the Southern border of the school. This is all part of our ongoing environmental work, creating new hedges and a copse to encourage wildlife. They planted hedges of blackthorn, hawthorn, dogwood and silver birch, and a copse of oaks, beeches, elders and rowans. #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri #Belonging

Welcome to your sixty-second update! We think that The Hemel Hempstead Experience, #TheHHEx , is really special, and we want your help to make it extraordinary, so please complete our survey. There are R4's for brilliant engagement and quick thinking on the Berlin trip, and for Hollie who is st John's Ambulance's Cadet of The Year. It was wonderful to see over 180 families at our Sixth Form evening; applications for places are now open, Google 'Hemel School Sixth Form' or follow the link from our Instagram bio. We lay out for you expectations if you are unwell or injured on a day you have PE. Poppies are on sale on the gate and in form time next week, bring some coins! As Year 11 are just five working days from their first trial exam, add some extra motivation by saving the date for your Prom! Senior football won at Chancellors, year 9 football came close at Ashlyns and we had huge success at the District Badminton. Year 7 boys football beat Henry Newman and our Duke of Edinburgh Gold and Silver completed their final expeditions. Violet has been accepted on a Cambridge University Academic Attainment programme, and Maisie's graphics work is on display. Your newsletter is in your email inbox or on the website. next week is Blue Week. Happy Friday everyone! #EsseQuamVideri #Belonging
