This week, Year 7 students were lucky enough to have Alex from the University of Kent come to speak to them during their Assembly. Whilst GCSEs, A Levels and the possibility of university seem a long way off, Alex spoke about the links between school subjects and possible university degrees and careers. The students were shown the broad range of degree options; the possible places to study from close to home to those further away and even overseas. It was a fantastic opportunity to get students thinking about what they enjoy doing, what they are good at and how they could transfer this to further education and the world of work.

This is a reminder that Girls' Football Club in on every Monday after school for all year groups from 3:30 until 4:30pm.

We are delighted to welcome our new Principal Chris Simmons to Herne Bay High School and are excited about the year ahead.
At the heart of his vision for HBHS is a commitment to high expectations for every student, alongside the kindness, support and sense of community that are so important to our school.
Over the coming weeks, we are looking forward to welcoming parents and carers into school for our Meet the Principal evenings. These will be an opportunity to hear directly from our Principal about his vision and priorities for HBHS, as well as for him to meet and listen to our families.
We also want to strengthen communication between school and home. We will therefore be sharing a regular newsletter with parents and carers, keeping you updated on school life, developments and the many achievements of our students.
We are really excited about this next chapter for Herne Bay High School and look forward to working together with our students, families and wider community.
