UNIFORM EXPECTATIONS
We carried out an unannounced uniform check for Years 7–11 this morning. The vast majority of students were correctly and smartly dressed—thank you.
Any uniform concerns have been recorded as a behaviour point on Arbor. If no point appears, your child had no issues. Common concerns included skirts rolled up, incorrect trousers, trainers, metal lace tags, excessive jewellery, and coloured or false nails.
Tutors will check uniform again next week, and further spot checks will continue. Please ensure your child’s uniform meets expectations.
A full email with detailed information and our uniform expectations has been sent home today. You can also refer to our website for the uniform policy: Little Heath School - Uniform
END OF TERM ARRANGEMENTS
Friday 19 December, 1:00pm
School will close for the end of term at 1:00pm on Friday 19 December.
The restaurant will operate the normal break time service. However, there will be no opportunity to purchase food after break. Students entitled to Free School Meals may make use of their allocation at break time.
School buses will operate as normal on the morning of the last day of term. Please note, there are no school buses operating at the end of school on 19 December, so anyone travelling via a school bus will need to make alternative arrangements for the journey home.
There is no facility for any student to be supervised at school after 1:00pm, so all students will need to leave the school site after dismissal. Please ensure that you have made suitable arrangements for your child if they do take the school bus.
School reopens for staff and students on Monday 5 January 2026.
A letter was sent home by email earlier this week. You can also view the letter here: End of Term Arrangements December 2025
