Year 6 Transition welcome video for September 2024

Now that our new Year 7 students have been allocated their place with us for September, we wanted to reach out and give them an introduction to the school, staff and students here at HGS. We are really looking forward to meeting them throughout the transition period and at the start of the new school term in September.

iPads for Learning

We are pleased to provide more information about our iPads for Learning scheme.  iPads have been an integral part of HGS since 2012 and we are proud of our innovative use of technology to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

Our intention is for iPads to be handed out to students during Summer School in August.  If your child is unable to attend, we will arrange an alternative time for them to collect their iPad on Monday 2 September.

Collecting iPads during Summer School

For students attending Summer School, iPads will be handed out on Tuesday 27 August.  Students will receive:

  • their new iPad
  • iPad case
  • a set of instructions - these will include a sticker detailing your child's unique log in detail

Click on the link below to access the set up instructions.
