Tutor Time
All form time activities are planned to tie into the CARES values and have a focus on wellbeing and celebrating achievements. Form tutors create a culture of support within their form teams, encouraging teamwork, a caring ethos within the group and mutual respect. Our tutors build wellbeing, literacy, courage, aspiration, respect, equality and self-control for all members of the form.

Assembly Day:
Meet your form group in the playground at 8.20am, with your laptop so you can register your form. Ensure they are lined up in silence before entering the main hall.
Standards/Attendance:
Go through equipment checks with your form ensuring students are prepared for the week ahead, update and go through the attendance challenge and tell students how many credits that have to date. Mark D will send out an email halfway through each term an update of where students are in relation to their year.

The House System and Tutor Team

Enhanced Curriculum
The final tenant of our curriculum offer is the HHS Enhanced Curriculum. Our wide-ranging enrichment and extra-curricular programme allows our pupils to develop their passions and interests, as well as gain confidence and self-belief.
Regular educational visits make the most of venues that build character and cultural capital, such as libraries, theatres, universities, and outdoor education centres. There are opportunities to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and the National Citizenship Service. Pupils have access to events such as: Debating competitions, STEM conferences, Maths challenges and Sports days. Pupils can also participate in our annual shows, music concerts, the school musical ensembles, or take up instrumental/vocal studies.
Our CARES Community Days, occurring twice annually, forge our school community and provide students and staff with opportunities to work together exploring our core values.
