Dear Parents As we enter our final few weeks of the year I wanted to remind you of some of the upcoming events before the end of term, particularly a reminder of two upcoming afternoons where the school will close early.

 Key Messages
1. Current Year 6 students joining the school in September 2022 will be spending the day at Highams Park School on Wednesday, 6th July 2022.
2. School will close early, at the end of Period 4 at 13.25pm on Thursday, 7th July 2022 for all students.
3. School will also close early, at the end of Period 4 at 13.25pm on Friday, 15th July 2022 for all students.

Further information

  • The Year 6 students visiting our school on Wednesday, 6th July 2022 is an excellent opportunity for them to begin to familiarise themselves with their new school and it will help them feel more confident about their move in September 2022.  Year 6 students can also sign up for one or more of our ‘Summer School’ days.  Information about this was shared with parents on the 29th June 2022, when new students and parents visited the school to meet their Form Tutors for next year and learn more about the transition ahead.
  • This Thursday, 7th July 2022 is the last of our early close days designed to allow time for departments to plan collaboratively and to work on written reports.  Students will be able to leave at 13.25pm, those who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) will be able to receive their food at break time.
  • As Activities Week involves some residential activities Friday, 15th July 2022 is the last opportunity we have a staff body to say farewell to staff moving on to new schools.  For this reason, the school will close early to students at the end of Period 4 at 13.25pm to allow the staff to come together for the afternoon.
  • Students in Years 7 to 10 are receiving end of year reports between now and Friday, 15th July 2022.  Please ensure that students reflect carefully on the information in these reports as they contain an important summary of the academic achievements from this year – including the end of year exam results – and also an overview of pastoral indicators such as effort, behaviour, progress and the number of achievement points (rewards) and behaviour points (debts) accrued during this last academic year.
  • With Activities Week approaching, there is so much to be excited about as the end of year approaches, but can I also bring to your attention the Summer Music Concert taking place on Thursday, 7th July 2022 in the Main Hall at 6:30pm.  This is free to Highams Park students and their siblings under 18, and tickets for adults are available at lunchtime from the Music department.
  • The deadline for applications for the Principal’s post has now passed and the Trustee Board are completing the shortlisting process.  Interviews are scheduled to take place on the 12th and 13th July 2022 and I look forward to sharing the outcome with you.
  • We look forward to welcoming our award-winning students and parents to their respective presentation events at their Awards Evenings next week.  Year 7 is on Monday 11th July 2022, Year 8 is Tuesday 12th July 2022, Year 9 is Wednesday 13th July 2022 and Year 10 is Thursday, 14th July 2022.  Well done to all those prize winners.

Your faithfully Phil GrundyPrincipal
