Welcome

Welcome to your sixty-second update! We are very sad to learn this week about the death of a former student Vinicius Zeca, known as Rafael to his friends. Rafael joined us in Year 7 last year, having previously been at South Hill School. He was a lovely, bright young boy but had to spend much time at Great Ormond Street Hospital as he was very poorly. He and his family moved to London earlier this year but he left behind a close group of friends who remained in touch with him, an visited him in GOSH, and we have been supporting them and his family rough this very challenging time. Our thoughts and love go out to his family and friends. In other news our Year 12 Dragons won Best Leadership, and there were R4s for Ivy and her community volunteering, and those who completed the Year 7 Have You Met. There was quantitative analysis in Chemistry, some of our Year 9 got places on Gonville and Keys outreach programme, Keity and Lilian are our art stars of the month and Year 8 boys are District Plate Final winners. Our footballer and netballers has a sunsoaked sports tour in Spain over Easter. Geographer's spent Easter in Iceland, a simply incredible experience. And Gold DofE overcame some challenging weather in North Wales. Your newsletter is in your inbox and on the website and next week is Gold Week. Happy Friday everyone. #TheHHEx #Respect #EsseQuamVideri

A number of our Y9 and 10 students took #responsibility for their learning and their futures and independently applied for a place on the Gonville and Caius (University of Cambridge) outreach programme; the following 9 students were successful in their applications:  Zander Bothma Henry Bailey Eve Boal Lily Turner Mia Heath Felix O'Neil Sorren Bayat Tyler Zhou Lily Townsend Anastasia Blencowe Congratulations and we look forward to hearing all about their experiences.
