The federation between the two schools was part of our determination to provide a smoother, more successful journey through the school, particularly with the transition from infant to junior. One journey, one relationship and one ethos is central to the continual improvement in the outcomes for children.

Heathfield Schools are lively and exciting places in which children and their learning come first. We want our children to develop an attitude to learning that is ‘can do’ and to take every opportunity on offer in order to attain their personal best. Your role as parent and supporter is crucial. The messages we all give about readiness for school, punctuality, homework and reading, and how we engender your child’s commitment to their learning will lay the foundations for a successful school experience. We recognise and value the contribution you make. That is why our partnership with you is so important and one we wish to do everything to build and maintain.
