AFA day is held every year and is a day dedicated to tutor discussion and goal setting.

This year, after feedback from staff and families we have moved this earlier to September 27th.  On AFA day students and their families come to school only for their scheduled appointment which is 15-30minutes and scheduled with a tutor and in some cases students will also see the Head of Year, SENCO or a member of senior staff.

We will also be running a book fair, a drop in support desk for help with school APPs and general queries, a SEND support room and a wellbeing information room should you need support or a confidential discussion.

Appointments will be open from 5pm on September 10th 2024 on the MyChildAtSchool app.  Should you need support logging on please DO NOT CALL the school please email mychildatschool@heartlands.haringey.sch.uk  and we will call you back/send information via return email.

Year 7

Parents will be sent login details to MCAS this week and further information about booking AFA Day

Thank you

Lateness to School

4th September 2024Sophia Butler

At Heartlands High School, we are committed to helping students develop good habits, including being on time and responsible. The school gates open each day at 8.10am and there is always a free breakfast for every student available in the restaurant. Furthermore, the library is also open before school for all students. Starting in September, we will be making some changes to how we address lateness to school.

  • If a student arrives between 8:30am and 9:00am, they will have a lunchtime detention on the same day from 12:55pm to 1:15pm.
  • If a student arrives after 9:00am, they will have a one-hour detention after school the following day.

Students will still have time to use the bathroom and eat lunch. We believe these changes will encourage punctuality and responsibility. A reminder that the gate shuts at 8.25am and students should be in their lessons before 8.30am to avoid a further consequence and to ensure lessons start on time. 

Thank you for helping your child understand the importance of being on time and for making sure they arrive at school promptly each day.
