In January 2017, the two schools decided to set up a way of communicating more regularly.
This began with HH's Upper School Councillors asking their classes what questions they would like to ask the pupils in our link school. We recorded our top three audio questions and pupils in Year 6 at our link-school replied using the same messaging service.
1. What fun activities do you do at school?
Singing, dancing and watching movies on a Friday.
2. Do you have different activities for different ages?
Yes we do.
3. How many pupil do you have at your school?
315 pupils altogether: 52 in Class 6A, 52 in Class 6B, 51 in Class 5, 49 in Class 4, 55 in Class 3, 50 in Class 2 and 54 in Class 1.
