Strike days LATEST UPDATE

22nd January 2023Ms E Roberts
There are many unions in education, the biggest being the NEU.  The NEU have confirmed strike action for their members.
There are a number of dates which impact HHS; these are:
  • 1st February
  • 2nd March
  • 15th March
  • 16th March
We are planning for the first two dates at present and will release a plan for the latter dates nearer the time.
We will be unable to open to all students on the 1st of February and 2nd of March as we will not have enough non-striking staff for this to be safe/possible. Please note: you will need to make alternative arangments for your children on the 1st of February and the 2nd March.  

On these days we will:

  • Invite in our most vulnerable students, we will be in touch this week with these invites
  • Offer guidance on work students can complete at home VIA the DPR and Email
We will write to you later in the week in preparation for the first strike day to ensure you are all aware of what to expect and the support we can offer.

LATE START 14/12/2022

13th December 2022Ms E Roberts
We will be opening the site tomorrow for students from 10.30am (lessons will start at 10.50) The site was manageable today but only as facilities have worked so hard.  The students were very well behaved and understood that the snow is now ice and so not to be thrown or played with.
The problem we now have is the melted snow will turn to ice overnight as the temperature plummets.  Paths in and out of school are very hazardous and it is far more sensible for students to be attempting journeys later in the morning.
Students 
  • the yr11 gate will be closed year 11 will come in via the main gate
  • We have gritted and cleared the site and made it safe as long as students are sensible and stick to cleared paths they will be safe
  • Stuents should avoid public trasnport at all costs, there is a train strike and the buses will be VERY busy.  Walking sensisbly to school is the best idea.  Students should leave early as walking will take longer
  • students should wear senisble, waterproof shoes to school.

Please remind students: 

  • to bring all their equipement to school as usual we will be teaching a full normal timetable from P3
  • not to throw or play with the snow/ice etc as we have cleared this into piles it may have other materials in it they can not see which would hurt someone if thrown
I will post daily updates as we expect the freezing conditions to continue all week.  If you have any queries or questions please contact me via office@heartlands.haringey.sch.uk
Thank you
Mrs Roberts

SNOW UPDATES OPEN WITH LATE START 13/12/2022 (UPDATED BY MRS ROBERTS AT 4.30pm ON 12/12/2022)

12th December 2022Ms E Roberts

We will be opening on the 13/12/2022.  This is all down to the hard work of our facilites team who are amazing and have worked all day to make this a possibility!

We will open to students from 10.30am with lessons starting at 10.50am. Some points of organisation: 

  • The year 11 gate (and path) is not safe to use so year 11 will be asked to enter through the main gate
  • We have gritted and cleared the site and made it safe as long as students are sensible and stick to cleared paths they will be safe, we will instruct them as they enter
  • Stuents should avoid public trasnport at all costs, there is a train strike and the buses will be VERY busy.  Walking sensisbly to school is the best idea.  Students should leave early as walking will take longer
  • students should wear senisble, waterproof shoes to school.

Please remind students: 

  • to bring all their equipement to school as usual we will be teaching a full normal timetable from P3
  • not to throw or play with the snow/ice etc as we have cleared this into piles it may have other materials in it they can not see which would hurt someone if thrown
  • it is christmas dinner tomorrow and they should be ready to take part in this annual, fun activity

SNOW UPDATES 12/12/2022 (UPDATED BY MRS ROBERTS AT 6AM ON 12/12/2022)

12th December 2022Ms E Roberts

Good morning

Having assessed the situation after the very heavy overnight snowfall we will be closed today.  HHS is a very tricky site to clear as it’s over three levels, we have had our amazing site team of 4 clearing until 11pm last night and again from 5am!  However, we will have to close due to:

  • The site will not be cleared of snow and ice for use with full emergency routes out; our teams have worked until 11pm last night and were onsite at 5am and will continue to clear all day
  • The car park will not be a priority to clear and there are currently no trains in or out of Alexandra Palace Station and delays on the tubes, buses are significantly impacted and running a reduced service meaning many of our staff and students cannot get in or home
  • Primary schools and nurseries will be closing meaning staff will be at home with dependants, care services will be disrupted meaning family members will need to support vulnerable relatives

Students will be set assignments via the DPR by their teachers: they should check this between 9.30-10am.  In period one we advise you to undertake your 20 minutes of daily reading or go outside and make a snow sculpture!  Once you have finished your snow sculpture (and sent your form tutor a photo!) you can logon to DPR and start some work for the day!

Group A Strep: information update

8th December 2022Ms E Roberts
I am writing in relation to the growing concern about Group A Strep which very rarely can also cause something called invasive group A streptococcal infection or iGAS which has resulted in 8 tragic child deaths in the UK in recent weeks. 
Below are some links which will help you.  At present we are confident the risk is very low but to ensure we are on alert to the symptoms and ready to support students should we need to.  We have trained all our first aiders on the risks and what to look for and our student support team will receive extra support and training.

Contact NHS 111 or your GP if:

  • your child is getting worse
  • your child is feeding or eating much less than normal
  • your child has had a dry nappy for 12 hours or more or shows other signs of dehydration
  • your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38C, or is older than 3 months and has a temperature of 39C or higher
  • your baby feels hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest, or feels sweaty
  • your child is very tired or irritable

Call 999 or go to A&E if:

  • your child is having difficulty breathing – you may notice grunting noises or their tummy sucking under their ribs
  • there are pauses when your child breathes
  • your child’s skin, tongue or lips are blue
  • your child is floppy and will not wake up or stay awake
What are we doing as a school? 
We continue to adhere to good hygiene routines, washing hands and keeping surfaces as clear as possible to ensure our amazing cleaners can do a thorough job in the morning and evening. 
 
Staff will send students to student services f they meet the usual threshold of seeming genuinely and significantly unwell or injured. We will contact parents where necessary. 
Where to get more information? 
I know many of you are worried but please try and remain focused on the fact this is very rare and most who carry the bacteria are not ill and there is no natural progression from other illnesses; it happens only in a few, unfortunate cases.
If you have any concerns please email us on office@heartlands.haringey.sch.uk
Thank you
Mrs Roberts
Headteacher
