First News newspaper for children – wider reading

Posted: 2nd April 2020

If you have a child or children who are upper primary/lower secondary and are looking for ideas to fill the time over the Easter holiday, you might like to have a look at the online issue of First News, the paper we usually display in the library.  It has lots of news from around the world, sport, entertainment, a puzzles page and lots more in a colourful,  fun format.

Access it through the VLE, School Life, library page within the Learning Centre:  https://vle.highclareschool.co.uk/publications/online-classroom

Each new weekly issue will appear on the Online Classroom tab through the Easter holiday and afterwards too – U3rd and L4th parents and pupils have been sent the link already.

I hope you and your loved ones keep safe and well and wish you a peaceful Easter.

Mrs C. Daniels, School Librarian

Senior School and Sixth Form Open Evening

On Thursday 10 October, we are holding our Senior School and Sixth Form Open Evening, from 4:30-7pm.

Come and experience a whistle-stop tour of the school, as we demonstrate a typical day at Highclare. Any questions you may have will be answered as you move around the school and speak to staff and students alike. Teaching staff are highly motivated professionals with a wealth of experience that they are keen to share! There will also be an address by the Head, so ensure you arrive in plenty of time in order that you do not miss out.

As places are limited, if you are interested in attending this event, please book by contacting the admissions department. You can do this by calling 0121 373 7400, emailing highclare.admissions@highclare.co.uk, or filling out the form linked below.

Highclare School holds regular Open Events throughout the year at Highclare Senior School, Highclare Preparatory School: St Paul’s, and Highclare Preparatory School: Woodfield.  However, if you miss one of our Open Events then please contact admissions for an individual appointment to visit the School during any school day. Parents are always welcome to visit, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
