Good morning and welcome back to a new half term at HF. It was lovely to see you all this morning! Dropping off time 8.45 -9.05 Collection time 3.00 - 3.20 Can I please remind parents that the school gates do not open before 8.45 or 3.00 so please do not come on to the school site and queue before these times. Currently 8.55 - 9.05 and 3.10 - 3.20 are much quieter times, so please use these times to avoid larger groups on site. To reduce numbers further - please ensure that only one adult is coming on to site per family and no older siblings at all please. I am currently waiting for more guidance regarding school opening procedures during the second national lockdown on Thursday. It may be that very little changes for us in primary but I will share any further information when I have it. Best wishes Mrs Poole

Dear parents and carers, SchoolPing will be implementing a forced log out to all SchoolPing app users on October 26 2020 in order to apply improvements and updates to the app. On this date, users who have an old version of SchoolPing will be logged out of the app and will need to upgrade to the latest version to log in again. Before this date, please ensure that you have verified your email address so that if you need to reset your SchoolPing password, you will be able to do so. To check your email address is correctly verified, please enter the SchoolPing app and: Open the side menu and click 'settings'. Then click 'my account' and check that the email address in this area is verified. If it is not, a 'resend verification email' option will appear. Once the verification email has been sent, please find it in your email inbox (please also check your junk folder) and then click the link in the email to verify your email address. Please also note that Android devices running versions of Android older than version 6 will no longer be able to use the SchoolPing app because Google no longer support the updates. If this applies to you, please use the web version of SchoolPing to receive your messages. Kind regards, The School Office Team

A very special thank you to all parents for your support and understanding over the last few weeks following the closure of some of our classes. It has been a challenging time and I was so happy to have everyone back with us today. It was special to be together again. Thank you for your home learning efforts - the teachers are very impressed! Wishing everyone in our HF family a super weekend Mrs Poole
