Headlines

By James Saunders

When I first arrived at the school I was unsure what exactly week 37 was all about. I am pleased to say that I now have a good understanding of what this wonderful opportunity offers our learners and I have been inspired by the growth our learners have made; I am sure you too have been following the exploits of each cohort on our Facebook page.

For me, week 37 represents an opportunity to develop relationships, resilience, entrepreneurship and confidence; skills that will help our learners as they enter the wide world post-Honywood.

This week I have had the pleasure of personally experiencing some of what week 37 has to offer.

In year 8, learners have been in school working on a range of entrepreneurial projects: I enjoyed helping out the car wash team in the midday heat; I commissioned my own Jackson Pollock painting from our resident artists; I enjoyed lunch served and prepared by our own pop-up restaurant run entirely by learners who also survived a real life inspection from an Environmental Health Officer, and our painting and decorating group did a fantastic job of refurbing our Maths rooms.

It has been all about character building this week. I am looking forward to seeing the personal growth in all our learners as we enter our final three weeks of the term.

Thanks ​ o: Ethan Briggs 7RFl, Matthew Dyer 7JLa, Jessica T Gilbert 7AWe and Sienna Gilbert 7JLa who supported interviews this week by taking part in group discussions.

Congratulations To Maya Robson 9KCo and Hannah Byrne 9KBr who took part in this week’s CV competition. They are Honywood’s two ‘Most Employable’ C9’s.

To: Ellie Tames 9JWi who has just won a Gold for England at the Dance World Cup in Spain. Well done Ellie on this fantastic achievement.

Year 7 have been based in Danbury all week. I had the pleasure of visiting them on Tuesday to hear about the fun they had canoeing, cycling, climbing and caving; I even managed to serve a few of them dinner at the end of the day.

Year 10 have been in Portsmouth all week and, like you, I have had to use Facebook to keep abreast of what has been happening; it is just that little bit too far to pop and visit at the end of the school day.

Finally, our year 9 learners have taken part in a series of activities and apirational visits. These include Canterbury, Essex and Cambridge universities as well as Cambridge United football club. Whilst I did not get to go on any of these trips one of their coach drivers contacted me to tell me how impressed he was with them - ‘real assets to the school’.

Parents’ Time Members of the Leadership Team will be available to see parents without appointment: Monday 9.00am—9.45am Tuesday 7.15am—8.00am Wednesday 3.00pm—3.45pm Thursday 5.00pm—6.00pm Friday 7.15am—8.00am

Feel Good Fair Sunday 23rd June 2018 the Feel Good Fair Family Funday came to the Main Hall. Despite many other events taking place locally, the Fair was really busy and I would like to thank all of you who took the time out to attend. We had attractions for the children to enjoy as well as a number of incredible local businesses showcasing family themed ideas.

If you haven't been yet, keep an eye out for our future dates. Everyone who comes speaks so fondly of the event. It's a great day out with plenty of food and entertainment to keep everyone happy. Schools desperately need the support of families to help with fundraising events such as this and in addition, the children also benefit when families are involved in school life.

Ultimately, it's the children who gain so much from us all coming together as a community.

If you would like to get involved or simply learn more amount events you can attend, please email Miss Lockett at spirit@honywoodschool.com
