Well done to the winning Y7 team in today's library lesson. They used Reading Cloud to look up three fiction titles, each from a different section, and then managed to locate them on the shelves in less than 15 minutes. It was a brilliant effort from everyone in the class though! https://t.co/cyHM9bOuQn

Volleyball was a new sport for us less than a year ago, but it has been popular and students are keen for more fixtures! If you are a school local enough to Merton (South West London) and interested in any friendly fixtures for year 7-10, boys, girls or mixed, get in contact!

We’ve had many fixtures with over the years, but we were able to host them at our (relatively) new facilities for the first time today! A returning Girls Football fixture and the away team came out on top with U13’s and a draw with U15’s. Looking forward to more https://t.co/TlidOfkpAG

Academy Life

28 January 2022Newsletter 28/01/2022What I love about a HAWI student is that they continue to think about others and strive to ‘make a difference’ to the lives of everyone around them.  This has been shown continuously this year by their support for each other and their dedication to either donating or raising money for charities.  On Friday, we will have a Mufti and Charity day. Our charity day will focus on the celebration of diversity and acceptance. It will be the start of our LGBT+ History Month where we recognise all those people in history who weren’t allowed to have a voice. It will be a mufti day and we are asking all students to bring in £1.00 as a donation to Stop Hate UK – a leading organisation working to challenge all form of Hate Crime and discrimination, based on any aspect of an individual’s identity. We will be holding a Cake Sale at lunch, which will be a House Competition, the house with the most cakes will win points, points will be also be awarded to the best cake designed for diversity – please get baking! We will also be asking students to write a ‘Hand of Hope’ writing a message of hope, for people in our community and around the world, who don’t feel safe to be who they want to be, these messages will be shared in the Dining Hall. Have a good weekend Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/280122-Newsletter.pdf  
21 January 2022Newsletter 21/01/2022I would like to thank the Heads of House who organised some brilliant social activities this week in trampolining, bowling and ice skating.  It sounds like everyone had a great time.  We are looking forward to some more exciting events this term including Charity Day on the 4th February and the Lower School Disco on Thursday 10th February.  Later in the term, we will have our whole school production of Hairspray  (it is a joy to hear them rehearsing every Friday after school) and our deep learning days in March, where there will be some more for visits.  The PE department have organised a number of sports fixtures and extracurricular activities are a way for every student to share and develop their talents. Students continue to show their independence, integrity and resilience and I am so proud of their support for everyone in the school and local community.  Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/210122-Newsletter.pdf
14 January 2022Newsletter 14/01/2022It has been a beautiful, bright winter’s day today and ends what has been an excellent week.  The students have completed their first full week after the holidays and it has been delightful to see them have fun with their friends and enjoy being back at school.  In the Autumn term, we had a house competition to help us develop a new logo for the academy to represent all of the excellent work students and staff are doing to celebrate diversity. We want the logo to be a visual statement of our commitment to diversity.  There were four key strands that came out of the students ideas: Range of colours with green, black and yellow included, a handshake, the words diversity and proud, and links with the HAWI logo.   I am meeting the student equality and diversity committee on Friday where they will make the final decision on the logo. The WPA committee had an excellent meeting this week and they are busy organising a second hand uniform sale and a quiz night for later this term.  I’d like to thank them for their time in organising these opportunities, and I hope you are able to come to the quiz night.  There are some more details in the newsletter from the committee and the information about the quiz night will come out next week. As ever, thank you for your ongoing support. Have a restful weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/140122-Newsletter.pdf  
7 January 2022Newsletter 07/01/2022Happy New Year! School has started very smoothly today and it was great to see all the students looking very smart and ready to learn.  As ever, the calendar is busy for the term ahead and I am optimistic that we will be able to do everything we have planned.  If we have to make any decisions to change anything in light of Covid, we will keep you informed. Extracurricular activities begin on Monday so please ensure your child has signed up for at least one extracurricular activity after school.  All of the information is in the newsletter. Other events this half term are a pastoral evening for parents on the 20th January, Year 9 options and parents evening on the 27th January, Charity Day on the 4th February and the lower school disco on Thursday 10th February.  After half term, we have Year 7 Parents evening on the 3rd March, the community Quiz night on the 10th March, whole School production of Hairspray on the 16th and 17th March and Deep learning days on the 30th and 31st March.  In addition, there are many house and subject events. I look forward to seeing you at one of the events this term.  Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/070122-Newsletter.pdf                                      
17 December 2021NewsletterOn Monday and Tuesday evenings the Winter Celebration concert took place, which was our first live concert since 2019! It was so wonderful to be able to showcase all of our extremely talented students after such a long time. All of our music and dance clubs took part, and provided such a wide variety of performances, from Christmas classics to an original composition by the ‘Song Writers’ Circle’, and film music to pop and rock. The concert also featured all of the year 7 students coming together to sing some songs they had been working on over the past few weeks, and we were able to show off some of our absolutely fantastic soloists. Not only were there so many impressive students on stage, but the backstage crew was led by students as well, including stage managers, stage crew and lighting technician. There are too many concert highlights to mention here, however you can watch a selection below: https://www.harriswimbledon.org.uk/1324/winter-celebration?preview A massive thank you and well done to all the students who took part. We are really proud of you! Merry Christmas.  I hope you have a wonderful festive break and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Best wishes, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/171221-Newsletter-1.pdf  
10 December 2021Newsletter 10/12/2021The festive spirit is wonderful to see this week.  Staff have reported that Year 7 and 8 had a great time at the theatre yesterday and really enjoyed the shows.  Year 9 had a very productive careers day; they had an assembly exploring pathways and took part in workshops led by National Grid and the Army, culminating in a Dragon’s Den style show. Year 10 spent the day working on their Science Required Practicals.  During the course of the day, students investigated how to calculate density, made some beautiful copper sulphate crystals and investigated how water enters and leaves plant cells.  It is fantastic to see so many students wearing festive dress today and contributing to two very important charities:  Save the Children and The Trussell Trust. We are really looking forward to The Winter Celebration on Monday and Tuesday.  I am sorry that we have had to restrict numbers for the evening, but I know that you understand that we must ensure we keep minimising the risk of anyone catching Covid-19.  We will film one of the evenings and place a link on the website by the end of term. Everyone attending will be required to show evidence of a negative lateral flow test taken within the last 24 hours.  On that note, you will have seen from the media that cases are increasing so it is vital that the whole school community continues to test every Sunday and Wednesday evening.  If you child has any symptoms of Covid-19, a continuous cough, high temperature or a loss of taste/smell, please do not send them to school until they have had a negative PCR test result.    I am delighted to announce that we will have a new uniform company (Stevensons)  from the 1st January which I hope will be more efficient than Brigade!  We have gone through a competitive tendering process to ensure that the uniform is of best value, and the company have a shop in addition to an online ordering system.  In consultation with the student council, we have made a few changes to the uniform including a skirt for the girls without the split and an improved PE kit.  There isn’t any obligation to buy any of the new items until your child grows out of their current one.  Miss Pocock will send you a separate letter next week containing all of the information. Have a great weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/101221-Newsletter.pdf

There was fierce competition in the lower school house football competition.  It was great to see over 60 students getting involved.  Congratulations to Gibson who won after a tense penalty shoot out with Morris.  I am delighted with Year 9s approach to the Duke of Edinburgh award; they are all busily securing their volunteering option so they are ready to begin in January.  It is a great opportunity to live up to our motto of ‘Make a Difference’.  I am very proud of how they are all willing to give up some of their own time to help others.   Thank you for your continued support of the academy; it is very much appreciated. Mrs Larizadeh vhttps://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/191121-Newsletter.pdf        
12 November 2021NewsletterThe whole school community came together yesterday for our Remembrance Day service.  It was a moving ceremony which honoured the memory of those who have lost their lives and a time where we reflected on how important kindness is in the community.  Special thanks to Miss Hofmeyer who led the ceremony, Leo who played The Last Post, Edward who read In Flanders Fields and Weronika and Monika who sang The Green Fields of France accompanied by Mr Wood. Next week is Anti Bullying week and our theme is One Kind Word.  I am delighted that we have developed a culture of kindness at HAWI and next week will be an opportunity to celebrate different individual acts of kindness.  Mr James has provided more information in the newsletter but it would be good to see all students wearing odd socks on Friday to show their support for diversity. The WPA will be holding their AGM on Thursday which will be combined with a drinks reception for Year 7 and 8 parents.  It would be lovely to see you there and there is a link in the newsletter for booking a ticket so we know how many people to expect. Have a lovely weekend,   Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/121121-Newsletter.pdf
5 November 2021Newsletter 05/11/2021Our house system is at the heart of our students’ lives at Harris Academy Wimbledon.  The House Tutor groups are the basis of our pastoral system, and our students are building strong house communities through a rich offering of sporting competitions, subject competitions and charity events that run through the year.  The ethos of our house system is built on two pillars: Competition and Collaboration.  The students are motivated by a strong allegiance to their house; they want to help their house win the league and many of our competitions have an element of cross-year group participation.  This week, the students will have house assemblies where they meet to discuss the competitions for this term and a strategy for winning the league.  There are a lot of points given for attendance and achieving stamps, stickers and kudos in lessons.  Please keep encouraging your child to come to school every day and to work hard in lessons so they can make a difference to the position of their house in the league.  Each house will be putting together a time capsule that will be buried in the academy grounds when we have our official opening of the building later this academic year.  Please discuss with them some ideas around what they can place in the time capsule.  We are really excited about the half term ahead and look forward to providing many opportunities beyond the curriculum. Have an enjoyable weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/Newsletter051121.pdf
15 October 2021Newsletter 15/10/21We have had a brilliant half term and it has culminated in an excellent last week.  On Wednesday, we had our Black History Month celebration day and Chartwells provided a great lunch of jerk chicken, jollof rice and corn bread. We were entertained by students from across the year groups performing songs by black artists as well a mix of traditional West African music with the djembe drums.  We have also had our deep learning days.  Year 9 spent one day working with the charity First Give.  They spent time exploring different social issues and causes that they are passionate about, and then prepared and delivered presentations about these. Each class voted for a social issue and charity that they are going to raise awareness,  fundraise and volunteer for this year. This programme is also supporting the students with their volunteering to achieve their Duke of Edinburgh award.   Year 9 are at Bletchley Park today delving into the Allied code-breaking from the Second World War.  Year 7 enjoyed their walk along the River Wandle where they explored the impacts humans are having along the Wandle Trail through a number of geographical fieldwork techniques. Year 8 have been immersing themselves in Maths and Year 10s have been focusing on different GCSE subjects. We have welcomed a number of visitors to the academy over the last few weeks and they have all commented on how polite, friendly and hard working the students are.  I am very proud of the HAWI student; they are kind, considerate and have a great sense of fun. Have a relaxing and enjoyable half term, Mrs Larizadeh   https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/151021-Newsletter.pdf
8 October 2021Newsletter 08/10/2021We welcomed a number of visitors to the academy this week.  Stuart Lawrence spoke to the students about being resilient and being the best versions of themselves. Over 800 parents and children from primary schools came to look round to help them choose their secondary school.  Feedback about your sons and daughters, who acted as tour guides or helped out in lessons, was fantastic.  I am really proud of how engaging, thoughtful and proud they were of their academy.  This week is another busy week as we recognise World Mental Health Day, celebrate Black History Month and immerse ourselves in the deep learning days on Thursday and Friday. Have a relaxing weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/Newsletter-08.10.2021.pdf
1 October 2021Newsletter 01/10/2021We are delighted to welcome Stuart Lawrence on Monday to kick off our Black History Month celebrations.  His brother Stephen Lawrence, was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993, and the Lawrence family’s tireless campaign for justice has led to cultural shifts and changes in attitudes towards racism within British society. Stuart Lawrence worked as a teacher for fifteen years and he is now a motivational speaker, a writer and works with the education system to equip young people with the mindset to believe and achieve what they want in life, no matter the challenges they might face. In his book, ‘Silence Is Never an Option’ Lawrence talks about what he has learned from life;  the tools that have helped him live positively and kept him moving forwards when times have been tough. From role models to self-control Lawrence uses his own experience to help all people to harness the good in themselves and in the world around them, using that fire of positivity to create change in their lives. We look forward to meeting him. Best wishes for an enjoyable weekend, Mrs Larizadeh   https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/011021-Newsletter.pdf        
24 September 2021Newsletter 24/09/2021The Macmillan cake sale has been a great success today.  Yet again, HAWI students show their kindness, compassion, team work and talent as they seek to make a difference to the lives of people in the wider community.  There was clearly a lot of baking in your kitchens yesterday (I hope they cleared up as well!) and the photographs give you an insight into the incredible range of cakes.  We will update you next week on how much money we have raised for Macmillan.  October is Black History Month and there will be more opportunity to get involved with house competitions and other events.  We will publish a full schedule next week.  I am absolutely delighted with how your children have settled back into school life this term; they are courteous, respectful and are working hard.  Thank you for everything you do to support the academy, it is very much appreciated.  Best wishes for an enjoyable weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/240921-Newsletter-002.pdf
17 September 2021Newsletter 17/09/2021It has been a busy and exciting week at the Academy as students have been striving to ‘make a difference’ to their own lives and the lives of everyone else around them.  There are a plethora of extracurricular clubs on offer every week and it was a delight to see your children signing up and enjoying their first session.  This weekend, we have a group of year 10 students completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition in the Surrey hills.  I’m sure they will have a great time and we will publish some photographs next week.  Year 7 had the opportunity to attend a virtual author event with Michelle Paver this morning as part of the Wimbledon Bookfest Sunset Festival and our library is open everyday for the students; please encourage your children to visit. Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/170921-Newsletter.pdf
10 September 2021Newsletter 10/09/2021It has been great to welcome all of the students back this week.  They have settled back in very quickly and special mention must go to Year 7 who are adapting to the routines of secondary school life very well indeed.  It has been a pleasure to welcome them all to the HAWI community.  We also welcome some new staff and I wish them well in their new roles; you can find a full staff list on our website.  Extracurricular activities are a really important part of life at HAWI and they will begin next week.  I am sure you would like to join me in thanking all the staff for providing these wonderful opportunities.  All students in Years 7-9 must do at least one after school activity each week and Year 10s must do at least one for a term.  Year 10s have made a great start to their GCSEs and are focused, as ever, on their work.  It is important that they work hard but also enjoy themselves and keep up with all their hobbies and activities. I am delighted that many of the covid restrictions in schools have reduced but we still must be careful.  We are pleased to be opening our doors to parents, carers and visitors but for larger events in the hall, we will be asking for evidence of negative lateral flow tests so we can hold the evenings with the lowest risk as possible.  I am looking forward to a busy, productive and happy year ahead. Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/100921-Newsletter.pdf
16 July 2021Newsletter 16/07/21I am proud of every member of the school community who have risen to the demands of a very challenging year.  We are looking forward to Honours Day on Monday where we can celebrate this momentous year with our students and staff,  and I hope some parents will be able to join us virtually.  Please find the times and links below.   Year 9 Honours – 10.00am-11.00am   Year 9 Honours Ceremony: link.   Year 7 Honours – 11.40am-12.40pm   Year 7 Honours Ceremony: link   Year 8 Honours – 2.10pm -3.00pm   Year 8 Honours Ceremony Link: link   Please ensure your child attends in their smartest uniform with their school shoes polished!   Unfortunately, Stuart Lawrence has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19 and now has to self-isolate.  We will arrange for him to visit us in the Autumn Term.  Although disappointing, this will not detract from the tremendous achievements of our students.   Tuesday will be a Mufti day for the students and we will raise money for cancer research. Please contribute £1 towards Teenage Cancer Trust. We finish at 3pm on Tuesday and students will be dismissed between 12.15pm and 12.30pm on Wednesday.   This is the last newsletter of the school year but I will write to you next week with arrangements for the start of the Autumn Term 2021.   Until then, have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine.   Mrs Larizadeh   https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/160721-Newsletter.pdf
