Headlands School & Community Science College

I am writing to let you know about some exciting developments to our Sixth Form at Headlands. As you are probably aware we have collaborated closely with Bridlington School over the last few years to increase our choice of courses for students. This year we are taking our collaboration a stage further and increasing both the number of courses and types of qualifications we are offering to meet the needs of all our Post 16 students - this will be known as The Shores Consortium. Students will be able study at one or the other Sixth Form or combine courses from both.

Did you know . . . just registering your child for Free School Meals means that the school receives extra money?
Register now to make sure that we, and your child, don’t miss out.

Your son/daughter is about to take the first steps on an exciting and important journey. They will soon begin choosing the subjects that they wish to study in Years 10 and 11. I am writing to you before this process begins to give you some information and important dates for your diary.

I am writing to clarify the situation regarding parties organised by the Sixth Form Students.  From time to time students organise parties and social events; these are private bookings and not organised by school, therefore there will not be staff from the school on duty.

I would like to remind parents when visiting the school to use the Sewerby Road entrance and enter the school building via the main reception. Please do not use the Library car park.

A significant number of students are buying energy drinks on the way to school and during lunch times and bringing these into school. As I am sure you are aware these drinks contain very large amounts of sugar and caffeine.

In our experience these drinks, rather than give the students energy, actually cause problems with their concentration and have a negative effect on their learning; some students are more susceptible than others and in these students the energy drinks can have a very negative effect.

The School was inspected on the 17th and 18th October.

The inspection team reviewed many aspects of the school's work.  It looked in detail at a number of key areas.

• How well students make progress and achieve, especially in English.
• How effectively teaching and the use of assessment impact on students' attainment, learning and progress.
• How effectively leaders and managers at all levels drive improvement, especially in English.
• The extent to which provision and outcomes in the sixth form are improving.

BUSWISE is a partnership between East Riding of Yorkshire Council,  schools, parents, pupils and local bus companies. 

This partnership will work together to ensure that everyone has a safe and pleasant journey using either the school bus or public transport.

There was a meeting of the generations at Headlands School on Thursday afternoon with a community project aimed at bringing the local community into school and teaching them about Information Technology and the internet, as well as enjoying a Christmas lunch. The project is a collaboration between the school, Age UK (based in Beverley) and the CO-OP store on Matron road (who supplied all the food). The adults arrived into school and were welcomed by the Community Group and GCSE Catering and Hospitality class, they enjoyed a 3 course meal, with waitress “Silver-Service”, which included a delicious soup, chicken breast and all the trimmings and a home-baked mince pie and cream!. The GCSE class had worked solidly all morning to produce what the visitors described as “and “excellent lunch.. beyond what we expected”, special thanks to Mrs Hanson and Mrs Farrant for organising!
