Dear Parent/Carer
Re: Unauthorised absence from school
Attendance has the single most influential impact on a student’s achievement, and as a school we all work together to ensure that our students achieve their maximum academic potential. You will already be aware that legislation has given principals/head teachers (as well as police officers and education welfare officers) the power to serve Penalty Notices on parents who permit their children to truant, arrive persistently late or take their children out of school without the school’s prior authorisation. I do of course appreciate the fact that the vast majority of our parents fully support their children’s regular and punctual attendance at school but I am writing in order to ensure that this discretionary power is properly explained to all parents so that any unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided.
We are very pleased to announce the publication of our new school newsletter “The Hinchingbrooke Herald”
The Herald brings you lots of news from the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, including articles from our four Directorates.

Hinchingbrooke School once again hosted the Lord’s Taverners U19 Cambridgeshire County Boccia Championships. The event was organised by Paul Ashbridge, Sports Development Officer from Huntingdonshire District Council and members of Boccia England and was officiated by Year 11 Hinchingbrooke Boccia qualified Leaders. The competition was well attended with 13 teams from across the County taking part.
40 Year 11 Hinchingbrooke students applied and have signed up for an inspirational programme organised by “Team Up” teamup.org.uk.
“Team Up” recruits talented university students to join a Rising Leaders’ programme. These Rising Leaders then undertake a challenge that includes inspiring young people in their community. The desired results of the programme are that more pupils reach their academic potential and that the university students increase their leadership skills and enhance their career prospects.
We are excited to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in “Number Day” on Tuesday 3 December 2013.
Number Day, sponsored by Vosene Kids for the third year, is a fun-packed event, where schools take part in a range of exciting maths activities to raise money and make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children across the UK.
At the Centre for Mathematical Sciences last week, 30 teams of the best mathematics students from local schools and colleges tackled a series of demanding mathematical challenges for over three hours. It was the regional final of the Senior Team Mathematics Challenge, a competition organised jointly by the Further Mathematics Support Programme and the UK Mathematics Trust and sponsored by Rolls-Royce plc. The aim of the competition is to provide a stimulating and enjoyable challenge for 16-19 year-old mathematics students by focusing on problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills.
Hinchingbrooke School is pleased to receive The Prince’s Teaching Institute Mark for 2012/13 for Maths.
