Don’t forget to top up Parent Pay and pay for non-uniform and International Day 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. And pay for non-uniform and tokens for International Day, which is on the 13th February. 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 or pay for new things 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. #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’
