Thursday (the 18th) HPS will be holding a Farmer’s Market in the Purple Main Hall/Courtyard areas.

We will have handicrafts, fruit, vegetables and prepared food for sale – all lovingly created and grown by the children of HPS!

We look forward to seeing you there, and the children are keen to know what you think of their farmers produce. In some cases, it’s been a whole year of work growing the produce!

On the morning of the Thursday 18th July, we would like you to bring your Foundation Stage/KS1 child to their classroom as usual. Please go back around the front of the school and through the KS2 playground area to wait for our Market to open.

Due to space restrictions, your child will come into the Purple Hall/Courtyard area at the following time:

Foundation Stage, Year One, Year Two
9.15 a.m. – 10.30 a.m.

In the afternoon, the KS2 children will be ready for their Farmer’s Market at the following time. Please walk through the KS2 playground area to wait for the KS2 Market to open.

KS2 classes – Years Three, Four, Five and Six
2.15p.m. – 3.15 p.m.

Best wishes,
The Knowledge and Understanding Curriculum Team

Year 5 pupils are bringing home an important letter today, and we need your reply back by Monday morning please.

The letter is about the residential trip that will take place next year when your children are in year 6. We need to know potential numbers now so that we can look to book the appropriate resources.
Please return the slip indicating if you’d be likely to want a place on the residential. This doesn’t commit you to anything and there’s no payment required, we’d just like to know potential interest.

If you don’t return an expression of interest then it’s possible we won’t have a place available for you when it comes time for the trip to happen.

Friday is our HPS Picnic Lunch Day, and you’re all invited!

12-1.30pm
Please arrive through the main school door – if you’ve ordered a school lunch then you’ll be given a token that you can exchange at the serving hatch for your food. If you’ve brought your own picnic please still come in through the main entrance.

We’ll also have Ice creams for sale during the lunch hour instead of after school like usual on a Friday.
We look forward to a lovely picnic lunch with the whole school to celebrate a fantastic year at HPS!

The year six residential trip to Holmbury is currently in full swing. Children return on Friday.

Photos and updates about what they are doing are on our facebook page throughout the trip. You can view this page even without a Facebook Account:

New early years parents for September 2019:
In the welcome pack that you picked up at our open evening recently there were a number of forms – if you could complete these and return them at your earliest convenience that would be very helpful.
If you haven’t got a welcome pack yet, pop in to the school office and collect yours.

You may have heard in the news that the government have changed the May Day bank holiday for next year.

We’ve updated our term dates page to reflect this, but if you previously downloaded our PDF term dates calendar, you’ll want to get a new copy.

With the lovely weather of recent weeks, we’re bringing back the popular Ice Cream Fridays at H.P.S.
Come and grab a yummy cool treat straight after school every Friday from the playground entrance of the Purple Hall.

Prices start from just 75 pence! All proceeds will go towards further improvements to our playground space.
