Welcome

Apologies, we are having ongoing issues with our phones. Please accept our sincere apologies if you cannot get through, or get cut off. Please contact us instead via admin@hemelhempsteadschool.co.uk

Don’t forget to top up Parent Pay before 1st Feb! Please top-up enough before the 1st February to last for the two weeks up until half-term, and the one after. We will stop using ParentPay when we move to MCAS, but all the money you have on there will be safe. It will automatically move over to MCAS during half-term. But you won’t be able to top-up the balance between 1st February and 23rd of February. So, please top-up enough before the 1st February for the two weeks up until half-term, and the one after. As always, keep an eye on this social media, and your emails, as we roll out MCAS.

Celebrating fantastic homework in the Performing Arts this week. #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri

Are you confident, calm, reliable and looking for a new challenge? We are looking for a cover supervisor to join our experienced team. This role would particularly suit someone with substantial life or workplace experience, perhaps looking for a second career, a return to work after a break, or an opportunity to contribute meaningfully in an educational setting. You do not need to be a qualified teacher. What matters most is your ability to manage a room with confidence, communicate clearly, and provide young people with structure, consistency and encouragement. As a Cover Supervisor, you will ensure continuity of learning during short-term teacher absence by supervising classes, supporting students to stay on task, and maintaining a calm, purposeful learning environment. You will be a trusted adult presence in the classroom and a valued member of our wider school team. Interested? Google ‘current vacancies Hemel Hempstead School’

Welcome to your sixty second update! In the newsletter and Instagram we explain why, and when we are moving to My Child At School, and what impact it has for you, the upcoming parents evenings, and how you pay for meals. We are seeking a calm, confident and reliable person to join our cover supervisor team, and we look forward to International Day on the last day of this half term. Recordings of the Winter Concert are now available. Year 9 boys footballers are champions, under-13 girls footballers won in horrible weather, much hard work is going into rehearsals for the show and our students have been representing us at the Herts Library Event. Year 7 basketball beat Longdean, year 7 netball drew with Astley Cooper, Year 7 boys football had a bit of a nightmare as sometimes happens and Year 8 have been exchanging letters with friends in Germany. The last few tickets are available for the Addams Family, next Wednesday to Friday. Next week is blue week and your newsletter can be found in your inbox and on the website. Happy Friday everyone! #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri

We are very proud of the six Year 8 students: Charlie, Amy, Dumi, Amelia, Matilda and Tawheed - who represented us at The Hertfordshire Libraries Teen Book Event. The students met with a book buyer for Hertfordshire Libraries, submitting book requests, and their views will help influence the teen book choices for all 32 public libraries across the county. They were a real credit to the school, and they conducted themselves brilliantly. #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri #Responsibility #relationships

Students in year 8 German could not be more excited about receiving letters from their Partner school in Schorndorf near Stuttgart in Germany. This the first exchange of letters and we hope for more later this year.  They wrote in both German and English asking about where they live their school and giving details about free time activities. #TheHHex #Relationships #EsseQuamVideri

Volume Up! How will Year 12, 10 and 7 parents evenings work as we move over to MCAS.. #TheHHex #EsseQuamVideri

The old technology, art and food rooms have been demolished, Year 7 football took an on penalties win at Adeyfield, under-15 girls football beat Ashlyns and Senior Basketball beat Sir John Lawes. Year 10 basketball played King Alfred and the House Bake Off saw Chalfont take the crown. You can find your newsletter in your inbox, and on the website. Next week is Gold Week. Happy Friday everyone! #EsseQuamVideri #TheHHEx

Moving to MCAS changes the way you pay for things. We will stop using ParentPay, but all the money you have on there will be safe. It will automatically move over to MCAS during half-term. But you won’t be able to top-up the balance between 1st February and the 23rd of February. So please top-up enough before the 1st February for the two weeks up until half-term, and the one after. As always, keep an eye on this social media, and your emails, as we roll out MCAS. #EsseQuamVideri #The HHEx

Trial examinations results day is a powerful, emotional, revealing, motivating and very real teachable moment #Resilience #Respect #Reflection #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri

IMPORTANT! We are changing our parent app! Over February half term we will move from Edulink to My Child At School (MCAS). It is simpler, more intuitive, and better for you as hard working and busy parents and carers. Please download the MCAS app from the Apple Store or Google Play now... ...and we will send you your startup and login details in due course. The only problem the changeover will cause is to the next few parents evenings. You will need to sign up for your appointments for these early, and take a screen shot or write down your bookings. More information on this will follow shortly from Mrs Heale. As always, keep an eye on this social media, and your emails, as we roll out MCAS. #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri
