Welcome to Heathmere Primary School
|
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the children, staff and governors of Heathmere Primary School. Ofsted rated our school as GOOD in February 2019 We are immensely proud of our school and our children.
Values and vision At Heathmere, we set high standards for our children and we want them - by the time they reach Year 6 - to be ready for secondary school. Our school values of Respect, Resilience and High Expectations underpin everything that we do we believe these are values that will help children through their school years and also throughout their adult life. Take a moment to look at our vision and mission statement. Ethos: Always Learning Learning is at the centre of everything we do at Heathmere, we believe children should be ‘Always Learning’. We focus clearly on developing children’s skills and understanding in reading, writing and maths. Children are expected to read widely. We have a well-stocked library and engaging book corners. Maths is taught every day and children also develop their skills in a whole class ‘maths meeting’. Writing is taught using high-quality books, including picture books. We also pride ourselves on our wider curriculum which includes lots of exciting opportunities to learn both inside and outside the classroom. We have lots of interesting trips, workshops and we even have our own Artist in Residence and Storyteller in Residence working across the school. The school also benefits from large grounds and lots of space to play and learn. We have recently refurbished outdoor spaces in our Early Years, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. Working together We expect all our children to achieve and to become the very best that they can be and this vision will drive us as we aim to keep improving our school. Our children have the greatest chance of succeeding if parents and school work together in partnership and we pride ourselves on being a friendly, open and listening school. As a school, we are committed to inclusion. Safeguarding children and ensuring their welfare is a priority for us and we will work with parents to make sure all our children are safe. Please do browse the website for more information, and email or phone the school if you would like to come and visit. Thank you for visiting! Miss Emma Lewis Headteacher |
