We were very sorry to hear of the death of Len Goodman, as an ex-student from our predecessor school, Westwood, we were delighted to welcome him to open our new building back in 2011. On behalf of the HAF community we send our sincere condolences to Lenโs family and friends.
A new addition to our staff is Bear, our new therapy dog, a 3-year-old labradoodle who has hyper-allergenic fur. He's a fully trained and certified therapy dog who will be joining our Pastoral/SEN team in the Summer Term. ๐
