Dear parents and carers,
To support Heworth Grange's ongoing efforts to be more involved in the local community we are proposing a series of Headteacher-Parent coffee meetings over the next few weeks. This is your chance to speak directly to the Headteacher in an informal setting to share your views or simply make suggestions to help us improve the school service to parents and carers, pupils and the local community.
To allow us to plan for numbers, please let us know if you would like to attend. Please click on the link below to view the dates of the sessions which will run from 4:30pm - 5:30pm.
We would love to hear from you and our Headteacher is looking forward to meeting you all for a chat!
Attendance
Despite it being a bit of an unsettled week owing to industrial action, we'd like to congratulate our year 11s for flying the flag for attendance and achieving an incredible 99.5% turnout during their exams. This is testament to their dedication and determination to succeed! Well done year 11 - we're proud of you!

Published 03/03/23On Wednesday our school improvement partner, Steve Ruddy visited Heworth.
Steve is a fully qualified Ofsted inspector who has inspected hundreds of schools throughout his career. During the day, he visited lessons, spoke to students and staff, looked at pupils’ work, and spent time mixing with the pupils and staff during breaks and lunch times. The day was a success and reflected the progress that Heworth Grange has made. Steve said, “This is the best I have ever seen Heworth Grange” and that “Pupils benefit from a positive learning experience.” He also noted that “staff went tout of their way to secure good relations with pupils.”
Year 11 achieved 94% attendance on Tuesday! Well done!
Thank you to everyone for your continued effort with attendance.
It is so important to ensure every young person is at school engaged in their learning unless they are genuinely ill. The team will continue to do welfare checks in person wherever possible.
If you need any support with attendance please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Anderson our attendance manager.

Published 02/03/23Your child will soon begin the next important stage of their school life. Over the next two academic years (Year 10 and Year 11), they will be following a range of examination courses that will provide them with their first set of school certificates and, hopefully, lead to further successes as they leave Heworth Grange to follow their post-16 education or training.
Please read the letter below from Mr Hulse to find out more about the process.
