Senior School Speech Day stars! Gardening Club flourishes at Hymers

Autumn term saw our new Gardening Club get underway in the Senior School.

Our green-fingered pupils have been busy replanting the large pots at the main school doors. We are also very grateful for the donation from an Old Hymerian of a greenhouse to the Gardening Club, now situated by The Lodge at the main school gates. The Club have been busy potting and seeding ready for a bumper crop of tomatoes! We are looking forward to the produce.

At the start of the autumn term we welcomed a number of our former Year 13 pupils back to Hymers for our Senior School speech day.

The event is traditionally held in Hull City Hall but Covid restrictions meant this year, while the event was able to happen, it was held it in our own Main Hall at Hymers.

Our thanks to our Heads of School, Diya, Gaurav and Alexandra for their speeches, and of course, the Headmaster Mr Stanley and Mr Redman (Chair of Governors).

We were also graced by some outstanding musical interludes from Jerome, Isobel, Rachel, Chris, Kira, Matthew and William and our own Mr Bartlett.

Congratulations to all of those who won awards - they were very well deserved following an incredibly difficult year.

Celebrating ‘Odd Socks Day’

Odd Socks Day marks the start of national Anti-Bullying Week.

Our Junior School pupils left their school grey and white socks at home, instead having on some of the best and brightest socks on display - complete with some muddy knees! Throughout the week our pupils were focusing on this year’s theme ‘One Kind Word’ celebrating what makes each of our pupils unique and spreading kindness between everyone.
