The Buzz

Partnership is one of our principles and is at the heart of our vision for HPP. Each day I work across both schools and I see such strength in partnership with pupils, parents and staff.

High expectations are an integral part of life at HPP and we can only help the pupils to achieve their very best by working together at all levels.

Weekly parents volunteer their time to come and work with our children and this week we have been lucky to have parents providing workshops for the children to enjoy in RE and science - thank you so much.

Key to the success of HPP pupils is the curriculum. It is clear, consistent and coherent but to ensure this remains the case, all teachers from across HPP spent a session working together to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of all of our pupils; partnership in action at HPP.

Collaboration and successful peer learning is seen everyday at HPP and as children move through HJS I am delighted to see they are honing these skills to ensure they leave us fully prepared for the adventures ahead.

Each month the school will focus on a different principle. This month's is:

3M - Amelia Gourley

Please can we remind you to name all items of clothing/belongings please. We have a huge number of coats and water bottles left in the playground every day and we are unable to reunite them with their owners as they are all unnamed.

We have introduced a box which will live in the playground outside the medical room of all water bottles which remain unclaimed at the end of the day so if your child has lost theirs, please check here first.
