A Message From The Head
Our priority is school improvement and making sure that your child receives the best education both in the classroom and outside, ensuring nobody is left behind socially or academically and that we develop well-rounded individuals who are challenged and stretched whatever their starting point and who succeed in realising their ambitions.
Our Vision & Values
We aim to create a school that provides young people with a safe and happy learning environment that challenges and supports all learners to achieve their best outcomes through a creative, inspiring and enriched curriculum.
Our values of Encourage – Challenge – Succeed embody everything we do at Heathcote.
Encourage
We encourage our pupils to take pride in their learning and community – to work hard, be kind, display good manners and achieve to the best of their abilities. Pupils seek and embrace feedback and show understanding and mutual respect for each other and show excellent behaviour at all times.
Challenge
We challenge our pupils to push themselves, take responsibility for their learning, to be resilient to failure and to self-regulate their behaviour. All our staff and governors are determined that all pupils confidently strive for success and expect them to be present and punctual.
Succeed
We succeed when all pupils enjoy their learning and reach their academic potential in all areas; leaving Heathcote as thoughtful, caring and honest citizens fully prepared for the next stage of their life – whether that be in education, training or employment. We succeed by letting them do so in a comfortable and safe environment and culture where they take a proactive role and develop socially.
