Recently our Year 8 ambassadors have been visiting our primary feeder schools (Firside Junior School pictured) to support Year 6 with their transition. They have been fantastic representatives of the school and have made a huge difference in settling any worries about coming to high school. Well done to you all!

Hellesdon High Sixth Form Our Y12s have completed their first 2 phases of the National Citizen Service (NCS). This involved them in 3 action packed days at Hautbois Adventure Centre near Coltishall. During this they were involved in a number of team building and leadership activities as well as confidence building. This week groups have followed up with a number of workshops including information on politics, how to keep safe as well as a challenge of developing a new product to support humanity! Having watched some of the presentations there were certainly some 'interesting' ideas.... The Sixth Form Team.

Have a fantastic Half Term and we will see you back on the 1st November!

Today we have had a wonderful group of students to have hot chocolate ☕ with the Principals. Nancy M, Finley M and Archie M were nominated by Mr Gray for being selected as the housemates of the month due to achieving no behaviour marks in the first House Challenge of the Year! Well done to you all! Ze-Wen Z was nominated by Mrs McNulty for being the winner of Bedrock for September, scoring over 200 points! Wow! Fantastic work Ze-Wen!

While on their trip to Snowdonia, our A-Level students came across Robin Millar MP who very kindly did an impromptu Q&A Session with the students and teachers about the importance of outdoor education after Covid. What a brilliant opportunity for the students!

The Hellesdon High Sixth Form Team are looking forward to welcoming you to our Open Evening Wednesday 3 November 7-9pm

Hellesdon High Sixth Form 18 Y13 Geography students took part in the annual trip to North Wales where they studied various parts of Geography including coastal features and defence and tourism and place. We also managed to get an afternoon walking at Llyn Idwal, a glacial lake in the Snowdonia National Park. An excellent but tiring trip was had by all,

Some of our Year 9s played in a Rugby Tournament at North Walsham Rugby Club on Thursday 23rd September 2021. The boys represented the school brilliantly, listening to advice given by the North Walsham coaches in the morning practices to help them perform the practices to a good standard, scoring several impressive tries during the afternoon games and also conducting themselves with great sportsmanship throughout the day. A special mention to Darius P for being awarded Hellesdon's player of the day and also well done to Aylsham who were the eventual winners of the tournament. Well done to you all!

Our Forest School is coming along nicely - we've had a shed installed for all of the equipment that'll be used! We are very excited for the students to get started.
