SCHOOL LIFE

School Shop (Hull) Ltd

The School Shop is run by parents for parents, thus helping to reduce the price of uniform items, and carries the full range of approved uniform, sports clothing and educational equipment.

Dates and Times of Opening

The School Shop is open every Wednesday in term time from 1230 to 1630, or by appointment.

Summer holiday opening hours include a number of days before the Autumn Term starts, which are advertised before the end of the Summer Term. New starters are able to make appointments for individual fitting and purchase of full outfits on Saturdays in May and June between 0900 and 1530. Please don’t leave it to the last minute to buy full uniforms – if pupils do grow during the holidays, the Shop will happily exchange unused items! For more information please visit our publications page where you can download a uniform list.

The Award is very popular at the College. Approximately half of Year 10 start the scheme at Bronze level, and numbers moving into Silver and Gold levels have increased steadily.

As part of the Service Section, usually about 30 students obtain the Young Lifesavers Certificate. Other participants can be found helping in old people’s homes, in charity shops, at the Children’s University and in many other activities. The Expedition Section is enjoyed by all participants. Expeditions at Bronze and Silver levels are carried out in the Yorkshire Wolds; Gold Award candidates are usually to be found on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Many talented and busy students satisfy the Skills and Sports Sections at the College – playing musical instruments, singing, being involved in drama and representing our sports teams. Archery will soon be added to the sports programme.

Hymers College Army Cadet Force

Hymers College Army Cadet Force Detachment first paraded in its current form in the autumn of 1992. It can trace its roots back to 1894 through a series of guises from Combined Cadet Force (CCF) to Officer Training Corps (OTC). Originally the Corps was affiliated to the East Yorkshire Regiment, but is now proud to wear the badge of the Royal Logistics Corps with whom it has close links.

The Detachment parades on Thursday evenings from 1730 to 1930, with regular weekends and annual camp. The Cadets undertake a full range of military training from skill at arms to first aid and from field craft to community service.
