We welcome all our students and their families to Heathland School

We are a primary school and nursery for nearly 700 pupils aged 3 to 11 that opened in September 2009.

Our school was judged to be ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED in 2010 and again in 2014. Our staff team continuously strives to find engaging and innovative ways to help our children learn and develop as individuals. We build close partnerships with families and celebrate success together. Our school is a strong family where expectations are high, values are positive, forgiveness is abundant and children are treasured. We believe that anyone can learn anything and the growth mindset underpins everything we do.

We are in a federation with Whitefriars School and we are expanding there so we can offer specialist subject teaching to primary pupils from both our schools as well as an outstanding secondary and sixth form education! Our schools are both converter academies in a thriving multi-school trust.

Please take the time to read through the information and guidance on our Letters Page to keep yourselves up to date.

How can my child continue to learn from home if they need to self-isolate?
We have a dedicated ‘Learning from Home’ page where you can find activities for your children to do while at home. There will be additional learning provided if for any reason we need to close a class or year group.
