Welcome

#ItsCharacterWeek and Year 7 are enjoying the skill of sketching with pen #NoEraser #CommitToThePaper

congratulations to all my biology students for your incredible effort in creating detailed models of the cell, specialised cell, prokaryotic cell , the digestive system, and the nucleus. Your work is a true reflection of your dedication, creativity and passion for learning and excellence. Enjoy a wonderful and well deserved summer holiday!’ Dr Martin

ItsCharacterWeek and Year 7 are taking inspiration from the great Andy Goldsworthy @andygoldsworthyfans

#ItsCharacterWeek and Year 7 are capturing the beauty of the natural world - using natural materials like burnt wood, coffee, fruit inks, and old books #EsseQuamVideri

#ItsCharacterWeek and there are Year 8 super heroes aplenty!

To our new parents and carers, who saw their children off to secondary transition day today - thank you! Thank you for having the trust and faith in us to take your child on the next exciting steps in their lives - it is a privilege and one we accept with pride, passion and gratitude. #EsseQuamVideri #Classof2030

Another heatwave is forecast so: From Thursday 10th July students in Years 7-10 can again choose to wear PE kit to school and students in Year 12 can choose to wear relaxed Sixth Form Dress. You’ll be aware that we also have character week next week, so therefore to (hopefully!) make things as easy as possible to understand: Thursday 10th, Friday 11th & Monday 14th July - PE kit/relaxed sixth form dress. Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th, Thursday 17th July - students must dress appropriately for Character Week (information for each activity/event has already been shared). Friday 18th July - normal school uniform or PE kit/relaxed sixth form dress. We hope you recognise that our intention isn’t to keep changing the expectations for uniform but that we are being reflective and considering what is appropriate to ensure our students (and staff) are comfortable so that there is no disruption of learning and standards remain high. We hope that we have followed a ‘common sense’ approach. Please remember that students must ensure the following: Students in Year 7-10 If a student chooses to wear PE kit, it must be full school PE kit. This means: HHS PE top. HHS PE shorts/skort/leggings. (Tracksuit bottoms/joggers, cycling shorts or short ‘gym’ shorts are not allowed). Socks and trainers (students cannot wear flip flops, sliders, crocs or sandals). Students cannot wear their own sports clothing that isn't HHS PE kit). If a student chooses not to wear PE kit, they must wear school uniform. White school shirt (shirts must be tucked in). Black/Charcoal school trousers or a pleated navy blue school skirt. Black school shoes (not trainers). Students can choose to remove their blazers, ties and undo the top bottom. Sixth Form Students Sixth Form students (including Year 11 students who are attending Year 12 Taster Days) can choose to follow a relaxed version of our Sixth Form Dress Code. Dress should be 'smart/casual'. No denim. No sports clothing. Students can wear trainers (students cannot wear flip flops, sliders, crocs or sandals). Students do not need to wear a jacket or a tie. No backless tops/midriffs
