Welcome

A reminder that homework club runs Tuesday-Friday after school until 4.30pm in the Hub. The library is also open every day before school, at break and at lunchtime for students who wish to work quietly. Why are we making these changes? We want to support our students in developing strong learning habits. Homework is important in helping students to consolidate, embed their learning and make their learning ‘stick’. Setting homework on the same day each week allows consistency for our pupils. We know that young people thrive in routine. It ensures they have a full week to complete the main part of their homework. We have listened to student voice, who have overwhelmingly asked for this. #aspire #homework #thehhex #resilience

Today we celebrated student achievement by awarding a number of our students with R4s and Headteacher’s Certificates. Our students have excelled in national and international sporting events, raised money for charity, achieved success in the 2025 Linguistics Olympiad, and demonstrated hard work and resilience in their exam preparation. An excellent demonstration of our 5R Character Values. #essequamvideri #thehhex

It is Year 13's last day. As is tradition they like to play some harmless pranks and have a little fun. Many chose to wear their old school uniform - badly! So if you see it students looking scruffy, or even in the pub, please do not think the school had gone to ruin! They are 18 year olds celebrating seven years of hard study, commitment and effort before they sit their final exams in a few weeks. #ClassOf2025 #OnlyYoungOnce #MuckUpDay

Normal uniform tomorrow! It is Year 13 last day tomorrow. As is a tradition they do try and have some fun and play some pranks. So please ignore any silly House posts about non-uniforms days etc - tomorrow is a normal school day for everyone, except Year 13!
