Our new interim headteacher would love to hear your views!

Dear parents and carers,

To support Heworth Grange's ongoing efforts to be more involved in the local community we are proposing a series of Headteacher-Parent coffee meetings over the next few weeks. This is your chance to speak directly to the Headteacher in an informal setting to share your views or simply make suggestions to help us improve the school service to parents and carers, pupils and the local community. 

To allow us to plan for numbers, please let us know if you would like to attend. Please click on the link below to view the dates of the sessions which will run from 4:30pm - 5:30pm. 

We would love to hear from you and our Headteacher is looking forward to meeting you all for a chat!

On Wednesday our school improvement partner, Steve Ruddy visited Heworth.

Steve is a fully qualified Ofsted inspector who has inspected hundreds of schools throughout his career. During the day, he visited lessons, spoke to students and staff, looked at pupils’ work, and spent time mixing with the pupils and staff during breaks and lunch times.  The day was a success and reflected the progress that Heworth Grange has made. Steve said, “This is the best I have ever seen Heworth Grange” and that “Pupils benefit from a positive learning experience.” He also noted that “staff went tout of their way to secure good relations with pupils.” 

Year 11 achieved 94% attendance on Tuesday! Well done!

Thank you to everyone for your continued effort with attendance. 

It is so important to ensure every young person is at school engaged in their learning unless they are genuinely ill.  The team will continue to do welfare checks in person wherever possible.

If you need any support with attendance please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Anderson our attendance manager.
