Who Killed The Headteacher?

You will be pleased  to know that as far as I am aware, no one is planning to murder Mr Barnes! But FHHS are putting on a murder mystery play called 'Who Killed The Headteacher?' which will be performed on Saturday 12th July at 7.30 p.m.

Tickets are now available from the school office, costing £7.50 per adult and £5.00 per child (ages 11-16 only), with family tickets available at £20.00 (allowing admission to 2 adults and 2 children.) Tickets include a pie & pea supper with tea or coffee or squash; other drinks/ glasses can be brought in by the audience. Please call in at the school office or email me at exams@hopehouseschool.org.uk for tickets.

The next Bake 'n' Take is on Monday 16th June at 3 p.m.

The next FHHS meeting is on Monday 30th June at 7.30 p.m.

May dates

Thanks to all who have already bought the FHHS tea towel. Please note that if you want to buy these, there is a limited availability as they are on a sale-or-return basis and payment must be made to the company by June. Don't delay, therefore, in buying your tea towel! These cost £6 each and are available from the school office. Please order by 23rd May at the latest.

The next FHHS Planning Meeting is on Monday 12th May at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

The next Bag2School Recycling Day is on Tuesday 20th May, so please bring in your unwanted clothes, soft toys, shoes (tied together or with an elastic band around them), belts, ties and hats by 9 a.m. on that day. Bags will be sent out this week. Please note also that bedding, curtains and towels are no longer accepted.

The tea towels have arrived!

The Hope House tea towels, featuring pictures of pupils and staff, have now arrived and can be purchased from the school office. They cost £6 and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, but once the original batch have been sold, we can re-order if demand is high.

Please fill in the reply slips on the letter which was sent out on Friday or call in at the school office. If paying by cheque, cheques should be made payable to 'Friends of Hope House School'.

Bake 'n' Take feasting...

Thanks to all who supported the Bake 'n' Take today, which raised almost £100 towards the playground project!

Bake 'n' Take coming!

Don't forget the Bake 'n' Take on Monday 7th April at 3 p.m., our final event of the spring term. Please bring in all home baking on Monday morning and don't forget to send pupils with some money to buy produce at the end of the day!

All in all, we had a great evening!

Coming soon... April events!

On Tuesday 1st April at 7 p.m. we will be hosting our first 'Pamper Evening.' Tickets have been selling well, but you can still come on the night and buy one (costing £3) on the door.

We have a whole range of things on offer. You can buy products from the Body Shop or Party Lite or Em's Gems and we also have a stall selling bags and other craft items. Nail painting by former pupil Amber Roberts costs £3.50 and massages from MeTimeMassageTherapies have already been pre-booked, though there are a couple of slots still available from 8.30 p.m. We are really looking forward to a great night.

On Monday 7th April we will be hosting our next Bake 'n' Take, so we are hoping for plenty of home baking to be brought to school on Monday morning! The Bake 'n' Take starts at 3 p.m. in the cafe area.
