A great first evening at Shallowford Farm. Students have been amazing and have made some very cute new friends!

Year 11 are now 34 school days away from sitting the first GCSE exam Last week we finished the last round of mocks before the real exams, these last 34 school days are very important. #teamsjh

The first group of our fantastic Year 7 students just departing for their residential at Shallowford Farm. We are incredibly grateful to PCIP who have helped us to provide this opportunity and to our Sixth Form students who are joining them to support. Have a great time everyone! #teamsjh

ATTENDANCE RAFFLE WINNERS Congratulations to our attendance raffle winners for the last week before half term.

Prizes include: Amazon Vouchers, skip the queue passes, chocolate, sweets, games and much more! #TeamSJH #attendancematters #rafflewinners

This term, students were given responsibility for managing a budget to maintain their own equipment stock, and the results have been fantastic. Pupils showed real pride in looking after their belongings and became proactive in sourcing the equipment they needed to stay fully prepared for learning. The competition between tutor groups was fierce, but it was matched by a genuine spirit of respect, with students sharing spare items to support one another. To celebrate their success, any tutor group with remaining budget was able to spend it on breakfast items to enhance a well-deserved celebration breakfast at the end of term.

Our Friday lunchtime SWAP SHOP is thriving with 107 swaps last week! Students earn stickers for weekly attendance, which they can trade for rewards like pens, sweets, or shopping vouchers. Our SWAP SHOP and other incentives help motivate students to attend daily. If your child may miss more than eight days a year, please contact us for support.

Meet our new student ambassadors! Sixth Formers, Lilah and Ben have been appointed Head Girl and Head Boy and Heads of House are Lily, Amie, Elliott, Cicely and Adam. Over the coming months, alongside Ben, Lilah and our Heads of House we will be looking to expand our student leadership team with senior prefects in Year 12 and junior prefects in Year 9. These will be amazing opportunities for our fantastic students to demonstrate the value that they play in supporting our College community.

Sir John Hunt welcomed primary pupils with exciting sessions of learning and activities. The Potion Commotion workshop turned pupils into junior scientists, while Minecraft Madness fostered creativity and teamwork. Dodgeball Pros showcased students' athletic skills through fast-paced games. These sessions provided an unforgettable glimpse into secondary school life. Well done to all who participated!
