Dear Families

As we are in the new year, I thought this would be a good time to update you on the progress of our development projects.

Royal Lane Replacement Block

We are currently on track for this to open during the Autumn term next year. This block will house additional Science and Food Technology rooms as well as a bespoke Intervention space (no more log cabins!). The replacement block will mostly house tutor groups from Years 10 and 11 with some 6th form spaces as well.  Our fitness room will move into the replacement block, as will the 6th Form common room, giving us more vocational space in the 6th Form block. 

Northwood Road

Planning permission for the updated design has been granted by Hillingdon Council and the plans have now gone to The Mayor of London's Office for final approval.  As soon as this is received, the demolition of the old boarding block at Harefield Academy will commence. We are currently projected to take possession of Northwood Road in Autumn 2025.

Community Cafe

Work to remodel our 6th Form hall and a classroom into a community cafe and kitchen will start this year.  This facility will enable pupils to gain more employability and independence skills. We look forward to welcoming the local community, local elderly care residents and families to the Cafe once it is opened.

We are very proud of how well the pupils have adapted to the changes on site, including the different arrangements for our fire and evacuation muster. 

Assembly

This week we learned about Holocaust Memorial Day, which is held every year on the 27th of January. This is a very important but challenging topic for pupils to learn about, and I was very impressed at how all pupils conducted themselves.  A large number of pupils remained behind at the end of assembly to ask further questions or to express their views in an extremely mature manner.  Some pupils also wanted to share and explore their families' personal experience of genocide, and they will be able to explore this further and be supported by their class teams.

Very best wishes for the weekend.
