Our first SEARCH day of the year is this Friday 12th September, SEARCH Days are our days of active learning and are very popular with the students.On SEARCH days we finish at the normal times for the school day at 15.10pm, except on Fridays where we will finish at the new time of 13.50pm.
This Friday 12th September we will be  holding a Year 7 parents âmeet and greet sessionâ. This is a chance for new parents/carers to get to know your childâs tutor.
Current students from Years 8-11 will be dismissed at 13.50pm â even Year 11, who usually have PE for two hours on Friday afternoon.
All our Year 7 students will stay on site until 14.20pm or until their parents/carers arrive for their meet and greet session.
We will ask Year 7 parents and carers to enter via the Main Entrance from 14.00pm. Please do not come before as we will be dismissing the other year groups. Your child will then come and collect you from the Central Forum and take you up to meet the tutor.
If you wish to come and meet your childâs tutor please complete the reply slip on the letter sent home on Tuesday 9th September  and ask your child to return it to the Main Reception by Friday 12th September by 8.30am. This will enable us to assess numbers.
This is a fantastic opportunity to discuss the first two weeks transition period for your child and discuss how you feel the start at Heartlands has gone.

The new term at Heartlands starts on Wednesday 3rd September 2014, with students arriving at the following times.
Thank you to all the parents and carers, staff and students who worked so hard to make the school fete on Saturday 22nd June a roaring success. The day was helped along by the fantastic weather, but the community spirit that we experienced on the day was amazing! The feedback we received from all those who came along was nothing but positive, ranging from ‘an awesome afternoon’ to ‘exhilarating’. Â Â Mr Scullion & McArdle, Coordinators of the Fete
Well done to all the winners on the day – and there were many!
On Friday 13th June, 24 of our Year 10 students visited Clare College, Cambridge, to kick-start their 6-week course in conjunction with the Brilliant Club. Students participated in âUniversity styleâ seminars and lectures, with subject matter ranging from philosophical debates in ethics to cutting-edge research on individualised cancer treatments.
All participants were given the opportunity to explore the University campus in glorious sunshine, including a visit to a college library, college halls, and seeing students punt down the river Cam. Our Year 10s thoroughly enjoyed the day, gaining a deeper understanding of the university application process, student life and how to succeed in achieving their high aspirations. For the next 6 weeks, they will be attending tutorials lead by a PhD student, leading up to a university-style essay due in on Wednesday 6th August. if successfully submitted, this will be followed by a graduation trip to another University. How exciting!
Thank you to Ms Style and Mr Barker for escorting the students to Cambridge.
Year Nine were rewarded for their hard work in Science this year by having a ‘whizz bang’ lecture from Dr Szydlo.
The demonstration was centred around the GCSE Carbon Chemistry unit as well as touching on some of the fundamental concepts of Physics. It involved magic water that changed colour when a violin played in D minor, ping pong ball rockets, liquid nitrogen and lots and lots of fire!
Jena said: âHe was insanely amazing! My favourite bit was when the green balloon exploded- it caught everyone by surprise!â
Year Nine listened intently and were a fantastic audience. We look forward to Year Nine continuing their GCSE preparation with this much enthusiasm.
Preparations are well underway for our first ever Summer Fete, with both students and staff readying their stalls, games, competitions and performances.
Ensure you have the date in your diary, and don’t miss out on all the fun!
