A Warm Welcome to Haddenham St Mary’s CE School

We look forward to returning to normal start and finish times in the Autumn term with the school day starting at 8.55 am and finishing at 3.05pm (LFF times differ, please see the LFF page ).  We shall endeavour to prioritise a happy and fun learning experience for all, whilst continuing to follow our current Covid-19 risk assessment, ensuring we keep our whole community as safe as possible.  As always, we will continue to adjust what is necessary in accordance to the government guidelines as and when appropriate.  Thank you so much for all your help and support in adhering to our safety requests.  Provision is in place for remote learning for any children who are having to self isolate.  Whilst we are thrilled to see a more positive outlook ahead, we are committed to maintaining high levels of safety so that we can all continue to move in the right direction.  We thank you all for your continued support and understanding.

Please see here for our Remote learning guidance for Parents and Carers should your child need to isolate at any time:

Equalities – HSM Objectives 2018-2022

We continue to provide a broad curriculum in all subjects, adapting our provision for Covid-19 as required, while maintaining delivery of excellent learning opportunities for children at HSM.
