Connecting Our Community
Herne Bay High School / 9 Sep 2026
We are delighted to welcome our new Principal Chris Simmons to Herne Bay High School and are excited about the year ahead.
At the heart of his vision for HBHS is a commitment to high expectations for every student, alongside the kindness, support and sense of community that are so important to our school.
Over the coming weeks, we are looking forward to welcoming parents and carers into school for our Meet the Principal evenings. These will be an opportunity to hear directly from our Principal about his vision and priorities for HBHS, as well as for him to meet and listen to our families.
We also want to strengthen communication between school and home. We will therefore be sharing a regular newsletter with parents and carers, keeping you updated on school life, developments and the many achievements of our students.
We are really excited about this next chapter for Herne Bay High School and look forward to working together with our students, families and wider community.

Last week, members of the Herne Bay High Crochet Club enjoyed a visit to The ScrapStore in Ramsgate, where they were able to select a variety of crafting materials to use over the summer. During the trip, students also spent time creating handmade cards and gifts, which will be sold to raise funds for East Kent Mencap.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has donated yarn and crafting materials to the club this year. Your generosity has enabled our students to take part in a wide range of creative projects and support several charitable causes through their fundraising efforts.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce the launch of our first Yarn Library in September, which will be located in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). The Yarn Library will provide students with access to a selection of donated yarn and crafting materials for their projects.
If you have any unused yarn at home that you would be willing to donate, we would be delighted to add it to our collection and help support the creativity of our students.
Thank you for your continued support.

On 16 July, 24 of our Year 7 and 8 students and 23 Year 9 and 10 students enjoyed a reward trip to Grove Ferry for a canoeing session. They had the opportunity to develop their canoeing skills before taking part in a variety of fun games.
Every student was exceptionally well behaved and represented the school brilliantly. It was a pleasure and a privilege to take them on this trip!
