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
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 levles, we have had our amazing site team of 4 clearing until 11apm 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 can not 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!
