Hillingdon Council is hosting a free 'Make Do and Mend' Repair Day on Saturday 27 June, 11am to 2pm at the Battle of Britain Bunker, Uxbridge, offering families the chance to learn practical repair skills and reduce waste. The event will feature hands-on activities including clothes mending workshops, small electrical and bike repairs, along with opportunities to donate or recycle unwanted items. With a strong focus on sustainability, reuse and saving money, this is a great opportunity for pupils and their families to get involved in climate action locally.
Starting secondary school is a big milestone for children and their families. Alongside new friendships, increased independence and academic challenges, young people often experience greater freedom online. Many may receive their first smartphone, spend more time on apps, and begin communicating independently with peers.
While this independence is exciting, it also brings new challenges. As a parent or carer, your guidance plays a vital role in helping your child develop safe, responsible digital habits during this transition.
We are delighted to invite you to this year’s Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust Summer Festival, a creative celebration of performing arts featuring the incredible musical talents of our students.

Are you ready to learn differently?
Parkside Studio College offers an interactive, hands-on approach to education for students aged 14 to 19, combining academic learning with real-world creative and technical skills.
With the half-term holiday approaching, we would like to make parents, guardians, and carers aware of the support available for families who may be experiencing financial difficulties.
Tests and exams can be a challenging time for children and young people, as well as for parents, guardians and carers. However, there are ways to help ease stress and support wellbeing. Please refer to NHS guidance below for helpful strategies on managing stress during this period. If you feel your child may need additional support, we encourage you to reach out to your school or college, where staff will be happy to provide further advice and assistance.
Learn Hillingdon is offering a series of hands‑on Healthy Dinner Workshops this summer at the Civic Centre, Uxbridge. These sessions are ideal for adults who are on a low income, unemployed, or managing Type 2 diabetes or other medical conditions. Each workshop focuses on preparing simple, nutritious meals to support healthy living.
Looking for an exciting way to keep children/young people engaged this holiday? The Hillingdon Youth Offer Targeted Team has put together a fun-filled holiday programme. The Easter Wellbeing programme is designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, explore empathy and promote well-being.
We have received updated guidance from the STaRS Team at Hillingdon Council regarding safe behaviour during school drop‑off and pick‑up times. The council has highlighted ongoing concerns about unsafe parking, congestion, and road safety around schools, and is asking all families to help create a safer, calmer environment for children and the wider community.
A new online mental‑wellbeing resource, Thrive Hillingdon, has recently been launched and is now available for families, young people, and professionals across the borough.
