Headteachers Welcome to Heage Primary School
Dear Parents and Carers,
I am really proud to be the Headteacher of Heage Primary School. I hope that this website gives you all the information you need about our school and shows you how our values and ethos underpin everything we do.
We value every child at Heage we create a culture where we all learn, play and work together with tolerance and understanding.
We have a fantastic staff team who are all caring and sensitive to the ever changing needs of all our children and we encourage our children to take care of each other and our older children take responsibility in school to supporting our younger children. We pride ourselves in the compassionate, family atmosphere here at Heage .
Our children are positive, cheerful, helpful and keen to question and learn. We want to build on this curiosity by ensuring our curriculum is one where every child has the chance to experience a real variety of opportunities, both at school and beyond. Academic success is important but we believe that education is about so much more than that and our curriculum teaches other life-skills and knowledge that our children will need to navigate the wider world. We are passionate advocates of outdoor learning and aim to get our children outside at every opportunity. We are fortunate to have extensive grounds including fields, woodlands, an allotment and pond as well as our playground areas.
We want to work with the whole school community and build on the school’s many strengths. We believe good relationships with parents and carers are vital to the success of the school and hope that by working together we can ensure all the children at Heage Primary School thrive and make good progress, ready to leave with the right skills and positive attitudes for secondary school and beyond and knowing their own strengths and achievements. We have high expectations of all the children and expect excellent attendance, behaviour and a positive approach to learning.
I hope that this website gives you a flavour of our fabulous school. If you would like more information or to visit, please feel free to contact me. I am always very happy to show people round as we have so much to share and celebrate.
If you require a paper copy of the information on this website, please contact the office.
