  • Thank You to Everyone Who Came Along to Our Fourth Senior Schools’ Fair on Saturday
    Thank you to everyone who came along to our fourth Senior Schools’ Fair on Saturday. You answered the invitation to attend with customary Hazelwood enthusiasm and we were delighted to welcome over 220 parents to the event. It was lovely too to be able to welcome a growing number of families from outside of the immediate Hazelwood family to the Sports Hall, fulfilling the intent of making it a local community event. The 35 schools who came along were both impressed and bowled over by the turnout and the professional way in which the Fair was staged. They all said that it was one of the best that they attend (and some of them attend quite a few!) They were also all full of praise for the five Year 8 pupils who were asked to be on hand to help with the smooth running of the morning. From carrying cups of tea and coffee, to amassing a good stock of brochures to aid with future parent meetings on Senior School choice, to capturing the event on camera, Izzy, Francesca, Archie, Jack and Charlie were fabulous. They did not stop all morning and carried out their requested duties with a smile, presenting themselves as impeccable ambassadors for the school. They were part of the buzz which filled the Sports Hall from the moment the doors opened to the last dying minutes during which we had to usher the remaining parents to their cars! It was a hugely positive event and one which set an optimistic tone for the rest of my weekend.

  • Three Cheers for the Community of Hazelwood School and Nursery!
    Three cheers for the community of Hazelwood School and Nursery! The School and Nursery are once again fully alive with the sounds of happy children at work and at play. Friends have returned after the summer break to be reunited with tales of holidays from across the globe. Our new families have arrived (some from the far-flung corners of the globe) to begin their Hazelwood adventure. I was delighted to throw open the curtains of my living room on Wednesday in the knowledge that soon the Head’s Terrace below would be the bustling route to and from the Baily Building for those excited Year 3 children making the transition from Year 2 and the Chestnut Building. A school, without children is like a balloon without air. It has shape, form and colour but it isn’t, until it has air, that the balloon comes alive and takes on a personality which captivates and opens up endless possibilities. Welcome back one and all. I am delighted that the 2017-18 academic year, which holds so much promise already, is underway! A particular warm welcome is extended to our new staff members across both sites and to our new families: The Harrison family, the Maryan family, the Collis family, the Viner family, the Bladen family, the Keoghan family, the Mavili family, the Zurrin family, the Bruner family, the Parsons family, the Brockwell family, the Hewett family, the Long family, the MacPhee family, the Sher family, the Gallagher family, the Taylor family, the Walters family, the Beattie family, the Broughton family, the Chamberlin family, the Collins family,

  • Tandridge Local Plan Consultation Please Write in Now!
    Tandridge Local Plan consultation Please write in now! Tandridge Council’s new Local Plan c laims 9,400 more houses are needed. The Council has identified sites for more than 1,500 around Smallfield and Burstow, mostly on Green Belt land How will the Plan affect you? The Local Plan sets the policy for future housing development in Tandridge District for the next 20 years. Once it is agreed, all planning applications will be decided in line with it, so it’s important to make your views known now. Although at this time there are no designated sites for major development in Horne listed on the local plan there are a significant amount of sites in the surrounding villages, notably, Smallfield, Lingfield and Felbridge. The Plan claims that 470 houses are needed every year, almost 4 times the current requirement. The increase has been assessed by a leading specialist consultant looking at population, demographics, migration and household size trends over the next 20 years. This scale of building would put intolerable and unsustainable pressure on infrastructure such as schools, health services, roads, rail services and parking which are already struggling to cope with the existing demand. What can you do? If you want to meet our local needs, protect the local environment, protect local infrastructure from being swamped by overdevelopment and achieve a reasonable and proportionate outcome for Tandridge.... Please take part in this crucial consultation and send comments to Tandridge Council. Either: 1. Email comments to: [email protected] OR 2. Send a letter marked “Local Plan consultation” to: Planning Policy, Tandridge District Council, Council Offices, 8 Station Road East, Oxted, Surrey, RH8 0BT OR 3.
