The Buzz

Communicating with our school community has always been central to the HPP ethos as it has ensured we have a strong school community with trust and understanding. Over the years the newsletters have changed as technology has allowed and the format has moved on. The readership of the school communication always goes far beyond the current school community. However, the time has come to retire the news notes (HJS) and school news (HISN). We are very excited to launch "The Buzz" for both schools (green in colour at HISN and red at HJS). We hope you enjoy the new style as it retains the favourite elements as well as now being better presented on a smartphone. The Buzz is also able to be translated by a single click into many languages which is a great feature.

Welcome to your first edition of The Buzz! This was named following a competition amongst families with the closest suggestion being Ada in 5B - well done Ada. We very much hope you continue to enjoy and find it useful.

I would also like to welcome Rachel Wibden to HPP, she is our new HJS welfare and medical officer and has made a great start taking over the role from Mrs Halstead. Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Mrs Rose Clare from the admin team, she has been part of the HJS admin team for 9 years and has more recently been the HPP finance officer. We will be very sad to see her go but wish her every success in her new role.

Have a great weekend

Happy new year. We are delighted to be leading the HPP Governing Body as co-chairs and look forward to working with Ms Lockey and the team to support the partnership to continue to thrive.

As governors we always welcome constructive feedback and enjoy discussing how we can make the schools even better. If you have any additional comments or questions that are not answered here, or by the linked online resources, you can contact the Governors of Hampton Primary Partnership via email to the co-Chairs of Governors marybuxton@hpp.school and janefallon@hpp.school

6GK completed their first DT Session this week- based on bridges. They explored the different structural types including: beam, arch, suspension and truss. We enjoyed testing the weight of our structures using multilink cubes.
