Welcome

Welcome back to your sixty-second update! A school is a strange and disconcerting place when it is empty. So lovely then to see, and hear, it full again with our 1300 wonderful students. Thank you to all our parents and carers for making sure they had the correct uniform and equipment, that their iPad was charged, that their Yondr pouch was ready, and that they were on time. We hope you had a wonderful summer and are as excited as us for the academic year ahead. There are R4s for our Year 8 Digital champions, who helped Year 7 with their Great Unboxing! The P.E. team would like to remind you about naming all PE kit and what the footwear requirements are. We always hope to pass on pre-loved uniform to other families - can you help with a donation of things which no longer fit your children? Mrs Horbury thanks everyone who supported her open garden over the summer. We take a moment to remind parents of how first aid and medication works in our school. And we ask you to support our library via the Tesco blue tokens! Your newsletter is in your email inbox and on the website. Next week is blue week. Happy Friday everyone! #TheHHEx #Belonging #EsseQuamVideri

each time you receive a blue token at the checkout. Every vote will help support improvements to our school library.  Voting will take place in the following local stores: Grove Hill, Hemel Hempstead Extra, Warners End Express, Hemel Hempstead Fletcher Way, Maylands Plaza Express, Hemel Hempstead Barnacres Express, Bovingdon High Street Express, Marlows Express and Lawn Lane Express.  Thank you for your support. Together, we can help create an even better library space for our students. Your School Librarian Ms Arantes
