Headteacher Letter to Parents and Students |
|
Please click here to read the most recent letter from Mr Earnshaw regarding Highcliffe School Academy Trust merging with an exceptional Multi Academy Trust based nearby in Hampshire (HISP).
You will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from HISP, learn more about our merger with them and ask questions at our next Parents’ Forum here in school at 5:30pm on Wednesday 8th June. If you plan to attend, please book online at: https://highcliffe.school/ParentsForum.
Please book here |

Visiting School |
|
A polite reminder that when visiting school, please report to reception in the first instance. If collecting a child who is unwell, reception will contact the medical room who will let your child know you are here to collect them. After signing in, please do not enter the main school unless accompanied by a member of staff. |
|
Communications - Move to Email |
|
We have recently been considering how we send communications home. This has involved us assessing costs, parent feedback (Parent Forum meeting) and methods available to us.
After half-term we intend to move away from text messages and towards email. This will need to be done in phases as we alter our systems in school.
The good news is, if you are reading this on your email then we have an accurate and working email address for you. Where our email system has detected a rejected or invalid email address then we will be contacting parents to check their email address with us.
Please be assured that we will retain our ability to text parents in case of urgent/emergency communication and for any unreported absences in a school day. |
|
Examinations |
|
|
|
Examinations are taking place in many different venues around the school until the middle of July. Please look out for the ‘Quiet Please’ notices and remain very quiet in these areas. The students taking examinations will appreciate your consideration for them. Please note that the No Entry signs around the school apply to YOU even if it is lunch or break or after school! |
