Life at Heathfield

Holiday Box Project

All students fill a shoe box with the 3 W's - something to write with, wash with, and go WOW out. Boxes are then delivered to a school in need during a field trip. This initiative, organised by students as part of their global skills projects, successfully engages the entire school community, fostering communication skills and a sense of connection with those in need.

Christmas Show

We always celebrate the last day of term one and Christmas with a show. Each class presents to parents before we all come together to sing a Christmas song.

A special guest is always in attendance. He is big, jolly and has a long, white beard.

Heathfield's Got Talent

Each year, children may volunteer to enter the competition. Heats are held in different age groups with the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners going on to the final. See our blog for past competitions.

International Day

Students have the opportunity to learn about different cultures before presenting their country at a booth. Children dress in the colours of the flag and make a tour of the celebrated countries in the playground. There is food to taste, music to listen to and performances to watch.

Inclusion Week

Inclusion is at the forefront of our values and practice at Heathfield and we strive to ensure all of our students feel valued and supported at our school. Inclusion week is held every year and is an opportunity to educate the children on diversity, inclusion and belonging.

End of Year Show/Spirit Week

Our last day of the school year ends with a show, showcasing what we have learned during the year. Alternatively, we hold a Spirit Week which is designed to bring a spark of joy and creativity to any school campus. For example, teachers and students dress up according to daily themes and then celebrate those themes in and outside the classroom.

Prize Giving Assemblies

Our Early Years department gives out weekly certificates, while primary and Secondary issue on a monthly basis. We focus on learning & effort, care & respect, and a growth mindset. At the end of the year, we acknowledge exceptional qualities and abilities. These pupils stand out amongst their peers in how they further their education and support the school’s values.
