Dear Parents

I wanted to write to you ahead of the prospective Year 7 Open Evening that will take place at Highams Park School on Thursday, 14th October 2021.  Thank you to many of you who are permitting your child to return to school in the evening to help showcase the work of all the different subjects, or indeed act as a tour guide for the prospective parents who would like to look around our school.

As a consequence of the Open Evening the students will finish their lessons on Thursday, 14th October 2021 at the end of Period 4 (1.25pm) to enable them to return home earlier to prepare for their return back to school, if they are acting as tour guides or visiting the school.  This time will also give the staff the opportunity to prepare the school for the evening.  Those students that are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) will able to collect this from the canteen, either at morning break or after their departure from Period 4.

I am aware that all new Year 7 Parents were not able to visit the school in person last year due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic, so you are welcome to come and tour the school along with the current Year 6 Parents, if you wished to do so.

Whilst writing to you, can I also remind you of the following additional points:

  • Friday, 15th October 2021 is a staff training day, therefore the school will be shut to students.
  • Tuesday, 4th January 2022 is an additional Bank Holiday granted for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and as we have selected to take this additional Bank Holiday on this day, the school will be shut.

  • Finally, the Highams Park Planning Group have been awarded a grant by the GLA to reimagine Highams Park District Centre and they are currently running an online consultation to see what people think of some ideas that have been put forward and to make further suggestions and improvements to the area around the station.  The Survey is mainly directed to younger people, so please do encourage your child(ren) to share their views Highams Park School – District Centre Survey

Thank you for your ongoing support of the school, we look forward to potentially seeing some of you at our Open Evening on the Thursday, 14th October 2021 from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.
