May and June activities at The Paddock
Young start to creating Haringey art – Haringey Schools Bulletin
Our drawing competition for primary school pupils in Years 5 & 6 closes next Monday 2 May 2022.
We’d like Year 5 & 6 children to create a drawing of their favourite place in our borough – somewhere that means the most to them, they have a special connection with, or they have the best memories of.
We have asked our primary schools here in Haringey to select their top three entries and send them to us at: FAO Policy Team, Alexandra House Post Room, 10 Station Road, Wood Green, N22 7TR.
We’ll enter all of these into a borough-wide competition.
The winning design will be featured in hoarding displays across Haringey this summer, with the winning entrant and two runners-up also being able to choose an exciting prize donated by a local business.
Spark children’s imaginations with a visit to Bruce Castle and see learning come alive as you explore the building, collections, and grounds. The museum learning programme is open and taking bookings for the Summer terms.

Haringey Schools Music Festival Royal Albert Hall 2022 on Vimeo
More than 1,400 talented children and young people from Haringey put on a sensational show as the Haringey Music Service made a highly anticipated and long-awaited return to the Royal Albert Hall on Friday 1 April 2022.
Featuring local primary and secondary school choirs and young musicians, the Haringey Schools Music Festival featured performances from the Haringey Young Musicians’ ensembles including their Big Band, Guitar Orchestra, Percussion Group, Steel Band, Symphony Orchestra and Youth Choir.
There was also a specially commissioned piece featuring performers from SEND settings here in Haringey, along with world premieres of multiple works and a large-scale performance of the new work Songs for Unsung Heroes by Ty Lowe and Peter Desmond.
There are lots of fun activities planned in Haringey to occupy children during the Easter holidays.
Please can you circulate our leaflet to your school communities.
Educational visits are a great benefit to the development of children, providing opportunities to broaden their horizons and enrich their education and life experiences.
Schools are required to plan visits, taking into consideration the type of visit, location, and activities. While routine visits will involve no more than an everyday level of risk and will be covered by the school’s existing policies and procedures, for higher risk activities, your school will need specialist staff with specific skills.
Haringey Health and Safety has prepared a written procedure which all maintained schools must follow. The Procedure HSP25 Organising Educational Visits is available on the Haringey Traded Services (Novus) website along with all Haringey procedures and forms.
Additionally, Maintained Schools must use the Evolve system to plan visits for category 2 and 3 trips. Definitions of trip categories are detailed in the procedure. Schools are also required to appoint an Educational Visits Coordinator, who should:
- be an experienced visits leader
- have the status to be able to guide the working practices of other staff
- be confident in assessing the ability of other staff to lead visits
- be confident in assessing outside activity providers
- be able to advise headteachers and governors when they’re approving trips
- have access to training, advice and guidance.
For category 3 visits (residential and adventurous,) schools need to have local authority approval prior to visits taking place. Using the Evolve system facilitates this by placing all the necessary documentation into one location; the system automatically notifies the local authority when trips are ready for approval. The local authority can then evaluate the information provided and either approve the visit or advise schools if additional information is required.
Finally, schools are required to submit category 3 visits on Evolve six weeks ahead of the planned date. This is to allow the LA to evaluate the information and where required for schools to add or amend documentation.
If your school does not have an Educational Visits Coordinator or the existing co-ordinator requires training, please contact health.safetyadvice@haringey.gov.uk. The Health and Safety Team will provide training.
