Dear Parents/Carers

On Wednesday 8^th June 2022 we will be celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. This is our day to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 70^th anniversary of taking the throne.

To celebrate this day in school we are asking that children dress up as a King or Queen. We would really like children to make their own costumes and we will be looking for the most creative costume.

Here are some websites to help you create a great outfit.

Throughout the day, children will be taking part in activities celebrating our Queen such as a tea party, creating their own crowns and a corgi treasure hunt. We hope the children enjoy this day and come together to celebrate this special occasion.

Thank you for your continued support

We are delighted to let you know that Year 6 will be taking part in a Fun Run at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park. This is sure to be a wonderful morning for all and is a fantastic opportunity for your child to learn new skills, challenge themselves and have fun with their friends.

The Fun Run event will take place on Thursday 19^th May 2022. The children will be participating in a run around the Olympic Legacy Park, competing against other schools.

This event will be run by qualified instructors (from Sport Links Sheffield) and High Hazels staff will be there to support throughout the morning.

Please ensure that your child wears an appropriate PE kit and trainers for this session.  

There is no cost for this trip. We shall leave school after the register and walk to the event. We will return by lunchtime so your child can have their packed lunch or school dinner as normal.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher or Mr. Sexton.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr. Sexton

Dear Parents,

Update on Leadership at High Hazels Academy

We wanted to update you on progress with appointing a successor to Mrs Maqsood-Shah as Principal of the academy.

The recruitment process is, unfortunately, taking longer than we had hoped as we are very keen to choose a candidate with the appropriate mix of skills and experience to suit the school and its community.

Whilst we continue with the process, Mr Paul Graham, who is Principal of our Abbey Hey Primary Academy in Gorton, Manchester and knows High Hazels well, will be working with the Senior Leadership Team to support the successful running of the school. Mr Graham is a highly experienced headteacher and is looking forward to spending time at High Hazels. He will be liaising with Mrs Maqsood-Shah and the Vice Principals this term so that he is fully involved with the planning for the next academic year.  

We will update you on the recruitment process for a permanent Principal when a successful appointment is made.

Yours sincerely

Tanya Hughes

Primary Regional Director, United Learning

Dear Parents/Carers

I would like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our families who will be celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr.

As a whole school, we will be having Eid parties on Friday, 6^th May 2022.  As done previously, we are asking parents/carers for a £1 contribution per child to be brought into class.  The money will be used to purchase party food and drink for all the children.

Please note that the 6^th May will also be a non-uniform day for all the children.

As always, if your child has any allergies then please ensure their medical records are up to date in the office.

Thank you for your continued support
