It's Year 13 leavers day today and we have a long, and lovely tradition of our outgoing students wearing their school uniform one last time and letting their hair down a little! So, if you see a load of scruffy school uniforms in the pub or on the moor this afternoon, don't worry, the school has not gone the dogs, they are over 18, and they are proudly celebrating seven years of hard work. #essequamvideri #TheHHEx

Focus your exam preparation and revision Year 11! #Resilience #TheHHEx #EsseQuanVideri
