Next week is Character Week, 13th to 17th July. Your child has been sent,by email, their own personalised timetable for Character Week. Please do look at it with them so you know what they are doing. Please ensure they are in PE kit, with their iPad, a water bottle, sun-cream and a hat every day #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri #Belonging

With the ongoing warm weather, we have kept the following measures in place to keep students safe and comfortable: Students have been wearing their PE kits since June to help them stay cool. The dress code for staff and Sixth Form has also been relaxed. All students should bring a refillable water bottle each day. Please ensure your child applies sun cream before school and brings it with them to reapply if needed. We encourage all students to wear a hat when outdoors. Water fountains are available across the site before school, during break and lunch, and after school. Drinks are available to purchase from the canteen at breakfast, break, and lunchtime. Toilets are available before school, during break and lunch, after school, and between lessons. Students are encouraged to stay in the shade where possible—fortunately, we have plenty of shaded areas. There will be no football at break or lunchtime to reduce strenuous activity. Students are advised to take things steadily and avoid heavy physical activity. The PE department will continue to adapt lessons appropriately for the weather, as they always do. Classrooms and offices are being kept cool by closing blinds and keeping windows and doors open where possible. At this stage, we are not planning to close the school early, but will keep this under review. Thank you for your support in helping us keep all students safe during the hot weather

VOLUME UP! Welcome to your sixty-second update! It was wonderful to spend Wednesday evening celebrating with Year 11 at their prom, at Hunton Park. They all looked incredible and had a brilliant evening of dancing, photos and fun. We are looking forward to our Sports Awards on the 9th of July, and we spotlight Poppy for her incredible German work. Year 9 boys cricket beat Ashlyns, under 14 boys and under 16 girls were both in the County League Athletics Plate final, and our Ancient History alumnus, Kay, has got a 1st in her degree. Year 12 Chemists have been to the Royal Society and we marvelled at the wonderful G.C.S.E. and A. Level work at our Art Exhibition. We have been helping out the student librarians at Oakleaf and enjoyed a wonderful evening of music at our Summer Vibes concert last night. Next week is Gold Week. You can find your newsletter in your inbox and on the website. Happy Friday everyone! #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri #Belonging

Welcome to your sixty-second update. We are so grateful to parents and carers for their support as we navigated our way through the weather this week. On the roof however the sun has been appreciated, with our garden flourishing and our solar generating nearly 70 kilo Watts of clean energy. There are R4s for Mathew, Kai and Mukta and the library has a new display. We invite you to our Art Exhibition on Monday, from 4pm to 7pm. Well done to Miss Ianuzzella for her charity hike, tickets go on sale for House Dance, and we gave R4s to our County Cup and Plate footballers. Year 12 have been at Hertfordshire University, Year 11s from here and other schools, have had a taste of life as a Sixth Former and Year 8 and 9 have had music recitals. The HHSA supports many families with pre-loved uniform - can you make a donation to their pop-up shop? Next week is blue week.  Your newsletter is in your inbox and on the website.  Happy Friday everyone! #Belonging #TheHHEx #EsseQuamVideri
