Year 06 Transitions Events | Our Year 06 Transitions events for the September 2026 intake start this half term. All information regarding these events can be found here. We are delighted to invite families of children in Year 06 to our Year 06 Open Evening on Wednesday, 17 September. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience life at Lift Bexleyheath Academy, meet our inspiring students and dedicated staff, take a tour of our facilities, taste samples of the delicious food provided by our chef and hear directly from our Principal about our vision and values. To give every family the best experience, we are offering three start times: 16:00, 16:45, and 17:30. Find out more by clicking here. 

Extra-Curricular Clubs | All Extra-Curricular activities start on Monday, 15 September and students across the school have signed up to their autumn club choices. Please note that clubs will not be taking place on Wednesday, 17 September as we will be hosting our Year 06 Open Evening Event.

Masterclasses | After a hugely successful first year of our masterclasses, we are delighted to announce the return of our Morning Masterclasses, beginning on Tuesday, 24 September at 08:00 with a fascinating session on Paradoxes, delivered by Mr Kirby. These masterclasses will take place in the Main Hall. 

The masterclasses are open to students in all year groups and are designed to go beyond the boundaries of the regular curriculum. They are supra-curricular, meaning they explore ideas, themes, and questions that don’t usually appear in everyday lessons but which encourage students to think more deeply, make connections across subjects, and develop a genuine love of learning.

The purpose of these sessions is to spark curiosity, inspire independent thinking, and nurture inquisitiveness about the world. By engaging with challenging and unusual topics, students are encouraged to broaden their horizons, consider new perspectives, and discover the joy of intellectual exploration. Please encourage your child to attend.

Careers Insight Talks | This week during our Careers Insight Talks, we are shining a spotlight on the profession of Accountant. As part of this initiative, we are keen to involve parents, carers, and members of our wider community. If you would like to share your own career journey and experiences with our students, please complete the attached form. We welcome speakers from all industries and backgrounds, as every career story offers unique inspiration and guidance.

What's been happening in Art this week? | This week in Art & Design we’ve burst back into the new term with an artistic EXPLOSION of creativity and colour!

Our Year 09 students kicked things off with a challenge: transforming a traditional fruit still life into something bold and dynamic by experimenting with the formal elements of space and texture. Meanwhile, Year 80 have dived into their brand-new Black and White Media Topic, exploring how artists harness the power of contrast to create mood and impact.

Over in Year 07, students have been discovering the expressive possibilities of different types of line, filling their sketchbooks with imaginative mark-making. At KS4, the focus has been on stunning tonal studies of natural forms, inspired by Edward Weston’s iconic pepper photography, while our KS5 artists have been pushing boundaries with ambitious responses to a variety of contemporary 2D practitioners.

We are incredibly proud of the passion, focus, and imagination our students have already shown so early in the term and we can’t wait to see even more creativity unleashed at our Art Clubs in the weeks ahead!

Congratulations Year 07! | We are extremely proud of all our Year 07 students who have completed their first full week of secondary school! Year 07, have faced the challenge of finding their way around a brand new environment, met new friends, and adapted to a whole new routine and they have done it with resilience, courage, and a positive attitude. This is just the beginning, and they have already shown they are ready for the journey ahead. Ms Golding has collected some feedback below from her focus groups:

• Taylor | “Our reading homework is brilliant! My book is called ‘LOST’. It’s a great adventure and I want to do extra work to find out what happens next.”

• Shireen | “I was worried about finding my way around but we got a map to help us and there’s always someone to help if you get stuck.”

• Amy and Yosha | “If we had to describe our school in three words, they would be: fun, interesting, exciting, extraordinary...wait, that’s 4!.”

• Amala | “The playground is spectacular and the food is tasty.”

• Prince | “I love having different teachers for different subjects.”

• Jack | “My science teacher is amazing. We’re learning about plants and cells. The way she explains makes it fun and easy.”

Year 07 Transitional Events | Term 01 Virtual Drop-in Sessions | Families of Year 07 students will be provided with the opportunity to meet with Ms Golding, Year Group Lead, this term.  These sessions will be 15 minutes and will be virtual. The dates are as follows:

• Wednesday, 17 September 2025 | 16:00 - 18:00

• Wednesday, 24 September 2025 | 16:00 - 18:00

• Wednesday, 1 October 2025 | 16:00 - 18:00

• Wednesday, 8 October 2025 | 16:00 - 18:00

• Wednesday, 15 October 2025 | 16:00 - 18:00

Appointments are reserved on a first-come-first-served basis and will open a week before each event. Information on booking appointments can be found on the Parents' Evening page of the Academy's website. If you have any questions regarding our Parents' Evening’s, don't hesitate to get in touch with Ms Fisher, Data Manager (dfisher@bexleyheathacademy.org).

Uniform Expectations | At our school, we place a strong emphasis on the value of wearing the correct school uniform. Uniform is more than just clothing, it sets a standard of equality, ensuring that no student feels different or singled out because of their appearance. When everyone dresses the same, the focus remains where it should be: on learning, achievement, and personal growth, rather than on fashion or competition over how one looks.

For this reason, we have clear expectations around uniform and presentation. Part of this includes our policy that students in Years 07–11 do not wear make-up. At this age, developing a reliance on make-up can contribute to self-esteem issues and shift attention away from building a healthy and positive mindset. We want all our students to feel confident in themselves as they are, and to understand that their value lies in their character, skills, and achievements, not in appearance. We will continue to issue corrections for make-up and ask students to remove this when they arrive at school. 

We also expect students to follow guidance on skirt lengths. Whilst this may seem like a minor detail to some families, it is an important part of maintaining consistency and high standards. Upholding these expectations helps students understand the importance of presenting themselves appropriately for different contexts an essential skill that will serve them well beyond school, in further education, the workplace, and wider society. Should students attend the school with incorrect skirt lengths, we will provide them with uniform to wear for the day. As some families are aware, we have started to meet with them to address the issue. 

These expectations were made clear when students joined the school, and we ask for the continued support of families in helping us uphold them. By working together, we can ensure that our students maintain high standards, grow with confidence, and make the most of every opportunity their education provides.

Free School Meals | Free School Meals (FSM) are a government-funded scheme designed to ensure that children from eligible families receive a nutritious meal at school each day, at no cost to the family. This not only helps to support students’ health and concentration in lessons, but also removes the worry of having to provide money daily for school meals. Importantly, applying for FSM is completely confidential – students who receive them are not identified separately, and all meals are served in the same way as for any other student.

Submitting an application for FSM can also benefit families beyond the immediate support of a daily meal. Schools receive additional funding, known as the Pupil Premium, for every child registered for FSM. This funding is then used to provide extra resources, interventions, and opportunities that directly support students’ learning and well-being. Examples of how some of this funding is used at the school is as follows:

• Chromebooks for every student 

• Covering the most of nearly all trips to ensure that all students can attend 

• Mentoring and counselling 

• Booster clubs

• After-school interventions

• Clubs

Even if a child prefers to bring a packed lunch, completing the FSM application ensures the school can access this vital funding, which in turn benefits the whole school community. Families are strongly encouraged to check their eligibility and complete an application if they qualify. Please review this document which outlines the criteria and links on how to apply.

Chromebook Insurance | We charge £15 a year for Chromebook Insurance. This will be per Chromebook supplied. We will start to request payment for this from Monday, 08 September through ParentPay. This cost goes towards the cost of maintaining the Chromebook and is needed to ensure that we can continue to provide students with this resource which is needed for their education. Should damages occur to the Chromebook and the Chromebook does not have Chromebook insurance, we will request the full cost of the repair or the full cost of a replacement device which will be £210.

Parent Portal Arbor App | Please ensure you have access to your Parent Portal account, where student timetables, progress report cards, and student information is held. Please contact info@liftbexleyheath.org if you need your Parent Portal login information sent to you again.

Parents' Evening | In response to valuable feedback from families, we will be introducing a Priority Parents’ Evening system designed to offer more meaningful engagement and flexibility for all year groups.

Starting next year, each year group will be assigned a Priority Parents’ Evening, during which families will be invited to attend the academy in person for face-to-face meetings with their child’s teachers. For example, if Year 07 is selected as the first Priority group, Year 07 families will attend on site, while other year groups will still be able to meet with staff virtually on the same evening.

This new model allows us to offer:

• A dedicated opportunity for each year group to engage face-to-face with staff

• The chance to view students' work and books during the appointment

• A deeper understanding of each child’s progress, strengths, and areas for development

• Continued access to virtual appointments for all other year groups during each event

We believe this blended approach offers the best of both worlds, maintaining the convenience of virtual meetings while reintroducing the benefits of in-person conversations and direct engagement with students' learning. Moving forward, Parents' Evenings will start at 14:30 and end at 18:30. This offers more appointments for each event. The Parents' Evening will be taking place on the following dates: 

• Wednesday, 15 October | Year 07 Priority 

• Thursday, 11 December | Year 11X & Sixth Form Priority 

• Monday, 15 December | Year 11Y & Sixth Form Priority 

• Wednesday, 11 February | Year 09 Priority 

• Thursday, 26 March | Year 10 Priority 

• Thursday, 09 July | Year 08 Priority

First Week Back | This week, our staff were thrilled to welcome students back to the academy, and what an incredible start it has been! Attendance on the first day was outstanding, and we are confident that this level of commitment will continue throughout the year. Returning after six weeks away can be a challenge, but our students came back bursting with energy, positivity, and a real eagerness to get back into learning.

To celebrate the beginning of term, we launched “In it, to Win it”, a random prize draw held throughout the day to recognise and reward students who showed up ready to learn and committed to their education. A huge thank you goes to our families for the effort they put into ensuring students were prepared, on time, and ready for school. Your support makes a real difference, and together we are setting the tone for a fantastic year ahead!

Extra-Curricular Clubs | We are excited to launch a wide-ranging programme of extra-curricular activities for all students at Lift Bexleyheath, starting on Monday, 15 September. Next week, students in Years 07–10 will have the opportunity to choose the clubs they would like to join for the Autumn term. These clubs will run both at lunchtimes and after school, with after-school sessions finishing at either 16:00 later for sports activities. Should students have competitions that they are a part of and these finish later than scheduled, families will be informed. 

We encourage families to take some time to go through the extra-curricular programme with their child/ward and help them decide which clubs they would like to take part in. Your support in this process will ensure students make the most of the exciting opportunities available to them. Please see the plan for extra-curricular clubs for this half term here. 

Chromebook Insurance | We charge £15 a year for Chromebook Insurance. This will be per Chromebook supplied. We will start to request payment for this from Monday, 08 September through ParentPay.

Should damages occur to the Chromebook and the Chromebook does not have Chromebook insurance, we will request the full cost of the repair or the full cost of a replacement device which will be £210.

Careers Insight Talks | For the past two years, we have successfully delivered a careers programme that introduces our students to a wide variety of roles and sectors. On Fridays, professionals join our students virtually to share insights about their job, the industry they work in, and the educational or training pathways that led them there. These sessions have played a vital role in raising aspirations, broadening horizons, and helping students discover exciting career opportunities they may not have considered before.

As part of this initiative, we are eager to involve parents, carers, and members of our wider community. If you would like to share your own career journey and experiences with our students, please complete the attached form. We welcome speakers from all industries and backgrounds, as every career story offers unique inspiration and guidance.

In addition, we encourage families to use Labour Market Information (LMI) with their child to explore different professions, gain an understanding of the skills required, and see where future opportunities may lie. By working together, we can equip our students with the knowledge, confidence, and ambition they need to make informed choices about their future. For further information, please contact Dr Lucas, Assistant Principal (flucas@liftbexleyheath.org). 

Parent Portal Arbor App | Please ensure you have access to your Parent Portal account, where student timetables, progress report cards, and student information is held. Please contact info@liftbexleyheath.org if you need your Parent Portal login information sent to you again.

School Photograph Day | Our annual school photograph day will be taking place on Friday, 12 September. 

Bexley Broadway | We would like to share some important concerns regarding Bexley Broadway. While it is a busy local area, it has also become a place where some students are gathering after school, which can expose them to unnecessary risks and distractions. Our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of our students, both in and out of school, and we want to work closely with families to ensure they are protected.

Staff will be present on Bexley Broadway each day after school to support and safeguard students. However, we ask all families to make sure their child goes straight home after school wherever possible, rather than spending time on the Broadway. This will help minimise risks and keep students focused on their learning. Please be aware that any student who refuses to go home when asked by staff will receive a sanction in school. 

Your partnership is vital in reinforcing this message. Together, we can ensure our young people are safe, avoid negative influences, and remain focused on their education and personal development. Thank you for your continued support in helping us care for and protect our students.

Mobile Phone Concerns | Over the summer holidays, we have become increasingly aware of growing concerns around mobile phone and social media usage among young people across the borough. While mobile phones are extremely useful for families to stay in touch and know where their child is, smartphones in particular come with risks that need to be carefully managed.

One of the biggest concerns is that children can receive unwanted photos and videos via social media or messaging apps. Often, they may not realise that some of these images are illegal, and simply having them on their device could be considered a criminal offence. Beyond the legal implications, such content can also be deeply upsetting and harmful to young people’s well-being.

We strongly encourage families to have open conversations with their children about safe and responsible phone use. Take time to regularly check your child’s phone to ensure they are not receiving or sharing anything inappropriate that could put them at risk. If you come across anything concerning and would like advice, guidance, or support, please contact our safeguarding team at safeguarding@liftbexleyheath.org. Together, we can help keep our young people safe online and support them in using technology responsibly.

Parents' Evening | In response to valuable feedback from families, we will be introducing a Priority Parents’ Evening system designed to offer more meaningful engagement and flexibility for all year groups.

Starting next year, each year group will be assigned a Priority Parents’ Evening, during which families will be invited to attend the academy in person for face-to-face meetings with their child’s teachers. For example, if Year 07 is selected as the first Priority group, Year 07 families will attend on site, while other year groups will still be able to meet with staff virtually on the same evening.

This new model allows us to offer:

• A dedicated opportunity for each year group to engage face-to-face with staff

• The chance to view students' work and books during the appointment

• A deeper understanding of each child’s progress, strengths, and areas for development

• Continued access to virtual appointments for all other year groups during each event

We believe this blended approach offers the best of both worlds, maintaining the convenience of virtual meetings while reintroducing the benefits of in-person conversations and direct engagement with students' learning. Moving forward, Parents' Evenings will start at 14:30 and end at 18:30. This offers more appointments for each event. The Parents' Evening will be taking place on the following dates: 

• Wednesday, 15 October | Year 07 Priority 

• Thursday, 11 December | Year 11X & Sixth Form Priority 

• Monday, 15 December | Year 11Y & Sixth Form Priority 

• Wednesday, 11 February | Year 09 Priority 

• Thursday, 26 March | Year 10 Priority 

• Thursday, 09 July | Year 08 Priority

Sharp Objects | We would like to remind families that sharpeners, scissors, and compasses are not permitted in school. To ensure the safety of all our students, teachers will provide these items in lessons whenever they are needed. This means that students do not need to bring their own from home.

Our priority is keeping students safe at all times, both in school and on their way to and from the academy. Carrying these items could lead to accidents, so we kindly ask for your support in ensuring they are not brought into school. Thank you for working with us to maintain a safe and secure environment for all.

Start-of-Term Arrangements | Term One starts on Wednesday, 03 September at 08:30 for Year 07 & Year 12. For all other year groups, Term One starts on Thursday, 04 September at 08:30.

Year 06 Transitions Events | Our Year 06 Transitions events for the September 2026 intake start this half term. All information regarding these events can be found here. 

NEW Year 07 Update | First Day | Thank you to our families that joined our meeting last night where we helped families prepare for their child's first day. We are very pleased to welcome our new Year 07 students on Wednesday, 03 September, as they begin this important next stage of their educational journey. The Asda gate will be open from 08:00, and all students are expected to arrive on site before 08:30. The transition to secondary school is a significant milestone, and we would like to reassure all families that we are committed to supporting every child throughout this process. Our staff are dedicated to ensuring that all students feel settled, confident, and well-prepared to succeed both academically and personally. We recognise that this change may bring a mixture of anticipation and apprehension, and we will work closely with families to make the start of Year 07 a smooth and positive experience for all.

If you have any questions regarding Year 07 this weekend, please contact Ms Golding, Year Group Lead (ggolding@liftbexleyheath.org) or Ms Aricilar, Pastoral Manager (earicilar@liftbexleyheath.org). 

We have invited some students to Booster Club to further prepare them for the start of their school year at Lift Bexleyheath. This was by invite only and if your child was selected to attend, you would have been contacted already. Booster Club provides additional support with Mathematics and English. Should you have any questions regarding Booster Club, please contact Dr Lucas, Assistant Principal (flucas@liftbexleyheath.org).  

NEW Year 07 Update | Drop-in Sessions | To help support a smooth transition from primary to secondary school, we are offering all Year 7 families the option to book a short virtual meeting with Ms Golding during Term 01. These meetings are designed to provide parents and carers with an opportunity to raise any questions or concerns they may have as their child settles into secondary school. The meetings will be virtual. Appointments will be available on Wednesdays between 16:00 and 18:00. Slots will be released weekly, one week in advance, and can be booked on a first-come, first-served basis. We will email families with the days that these meetings are available and how to book. 

Please note that any queries should be directed, in the first instance, to the Pastoral Manager, Mr Aricilar, who will be able to provide support or guidance as needed. The virtual meetings with Ms Golding are intended as an additional opportunity for families who may wish to discuss matters further. Should questions be related to SEND, there will be separate drop-in sessions with the SENDCo, we will email families of students with SEND directly to set these meetings up. 

Email Changes & Homework | As part of our transition to Lift Bexleyheath, our email domain is changing to @liftbexleyheath.org. This process is now underway. We are aware that some students have experienced difficulties logging into certain homework platforms as a result of this change. While this has not affected all students, we want to reassure families that these issues are being addressed and will be fully resolved by Wednesday, 3rd September.

To ensure everything is working smoothly, we will carry out checks in prep classes on Thursday, 4th September to confirm that all students can access the platforms they need. We kindly ask for your patience during this transition. If your child continues to experience any problems after Thursday’s checks, please contact our Data Manager, Ms Fisher (dfisher@liftbexleyheath.org). 

Welcome Back Information Evening | Virtual Meeting | We will be holding a Welcome Back assembly for all of our families on Tuesday, 02 September at 18:00. A link to this meeting can be found here. We will outline everything that you need to know to support your child during the academic year, which will include information about: 

• Parents' Evening 

• Homework Expectations 

• Prep Period

• Reports vs Dynamic Progress Reporting 

• Parent Portal App

• ParentPay

• Extra-Curricular

Getting Ready to Return to School | The start of a new term is an important moment for setting the tone and expectations that will carry us through the year. Getting it right on the very first day ensures that lessons begin smoothly, valuable learning time is not lost, and every student is focused on achieving their best from the outset. To support this, we ask that all families carefully review and follow our uniform and equipment expectations. The School Uniform Policy can be found here, and it is essential that you take time to read it in full before your child returns.

A reminder of the key requirements:

• Uniform: Students must arrive in full school uniform. School shoes must be black and polishable. Skirts must be knee length.

• Appearance: Lashes, acrylic nails, nail polish, make-up, and jewellery are not permitted. Students arriving with these will be asked to remove them at the gate. Jewellery will be confiscated until the end of the academic year, and the academy will not take responsibility for loss or damage.

• Bags: Students must carry a backpack. Handbags or side bags will be replaced at the gate with an academy-issued backpack. This ensures Chromebooks are protected and there is sufficient space for books, stationery, and PE kit.

• Equipment: Students must bring the following each day:

  • 2x black or blue pens

  • 2x red pens

  • 1 pencil, rubber, ruler, and highlighter

  • Colouring pencils

  • Scientific calculator
    Note: Compasses and sharpeners are not permitted.

• Chromebooks: Please ensure devices are fully charged each evening and that students bring their charger to school.

• ParentPay: Please top up accounts to allow students to purchase food without disruption.

By arriving fully prepared, students send a clear message to themselves and others: they are ready to learn, to contribute, and to succeed. A strong, consistent start means we can focus every moment on high-quality teaching and learning. Thank you for your support in making sure every child is fully prepared for the first day back.

Chromebook Insurance | We charge £15 a year for Chromebook Insurance. This will be per Chromebook supplied. We will start to request payment for this from Monday, 08 September through ParentPay. This cost goes towards the cost of maintaining the Chromebook and is needed to ensure that we can continue to provide students with this resource which is needed for their education. Should damages occur to the Chromebook and the Chromebook does not have Chromebook insurance, we will request the full cost of the repair or the full cost of a replacement device which will be £210.

Student Timetables | Please ensure you have access to your Parent Portal account, as student timetables will be available to view from Tuesday, 02 September. Please contact info@bexleyheathacademy.org if you need your Parent Portal login information sent to you again. 

BMX Star Continues to Win! | At Lift Bexleyheath, we are bursting with pride as we celebrate the incredible achievements of Roxie, one of our very own rising stars. Roxie recently competed in the 13–16 Cruiser BMX category, which was merged with the 17–29 Ladies category, making the competition even tougher. Despite the added challenge, Roxie showed outstanding determination and skill, securing the title of British No. 6 in her age group, a truly remarkable accomplishment.

Watching Roxie’s journey in BMX racing has been nothing short of inspiring. Her dedication to training, her resilience in the face of challenges, and her passion for the sport are qualities we deeply admire. To compete at this level at just 13 years old is an extraordinary achievement, and we could not be prouder of the progress she has made.

BMX (Bicycle Motocross) racing is a high energy sport that involves sprinting on bikes over purpose built dirt tracks filled with jumps, tight turns, and obstacles. Riders need explosive power, lightning fast reflexes, and razor sharp focus to succeed. The sport became an Olympic discipline in 2008 and has since grown rapidly, inspiring young riders across the globe.

Roxie’s success is also a powerful reminder of the importance of extra-curricular activities outside of school. Whether it’s sport, music, drama, or another pursuit, these opportunities help young people build resilience, confidence, and teamwork skills. For Roxie, BMX has been more than just a hobby, it has given her discipline, drive, and a community that supports her growth both on and off the track.

At Lift Bexleyheath, we believe in celebrating these achievements because they showcase the incredible potential of young people when given the chance to follow their passions. Roxie is proof that hard work and determination can lead to extraordinary results.

We look forward to supporting her as she continues her BMX journey, and we cannot wait to see what she achieves next!

Year 11 & Year 13 Interventions | Students in Year 11 and Year 13 have a longer day in comparison to the rest of the school as they prepare for their final examinations. Students start Period 00 at 07:50 and have a Period 05 which starts at 15:15. This programme will start on the week commencing Monday, 15 September. 

Extra-Curricular | Our extra-curricular clubs programme will start on the week commencing Monday, 15 September. We will be sharing the programme for clubs next week. 

Year 11 & Year 13 Summer Revision & Assignments | Please find the revision and assignments for Year 11 and Year 13 here. The deadline for completiong for this work is Friday, 05 September. 

Year 08 - Year 10 | Summer Homework | The deadline for the homework is Thursday, 11 September 2025. Students can complete this homework over the summer holidays or complete this on the first week back. The homework to complete is on the following platforms:

• Sparx Maths

• Sparx Reader 

• Sparx Science 

• LanguageNut

Each platform will have different deadlines that appear through the holidays. Please ignore these. As long as students complete one piece of homework between Monday, 21 July - Thursday, 11 September from each platform, we will count this as homework completed for the summer. Should families wish to complete additional homework on the platform we are happy for this to happen as this further consolidates what they have learnt. 

Competitions for the Summer | We have a number of competitions that run over the summer holidays. Students have until Friday, 05 September to complete their tasks or submit their entries. There will be a; first, second and third prize for students in each year group. Please encourage your child to take part in at least one of the competitions. For all the competitions that require a submission, please ensure that students write their full name and year group clearly on the submission. These can be submitted to the reception team.

Excellent Examination Results | We are incredibly proud of the outstanding A-Level and GCSE results achieved by our students this year at Lift Bexleyheath. These results are a reflection of the determination, resilience, and commitment our young people have shown throughout their studies. Their hard work and perseverance, often in the face of challenges, have paid off and we are delighted to see them celebrating such well-deserved success.

Sky News joined us for our results days to celebrate the success of our students. Please see here. 

These achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our staff, who have supported, challenged, and encouraged every student to reach their full potential. We are equally grateful to our families, whose encouragement, belief, and daily commitment to ensuring excellent attendance and partnership with the school played a vital role in this success. Together, this collaboration between students, staff, and families has created a culture where ambition and achievement thrive.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff and families who helped make our results days so special. Their presence, organisation, and encouragement created an atmosphere of celebration and pride, ensuring that our students felt recognised and valued for their accomplishments. These moments will stay with our students for years to come, marking the beginning of exciting new journeys ahead.

We will be sharing key performance headlines in the coming weeks.
