Welcome back everyone – Christmas already feels like an age ago, but I hope you all enjoyed a restful and happy break with family and friends. I would also like to wish you all a very Happy New Year.
This half term is always a busy one, and it has been wonderful to see how quickly the children have settled back into school routines. Classrooms are calm, purposeful and full of learning, and staff have commented on how positively the children have returned.
I have been particularly proud to see our pupils continuing to live out our Core Values each day. Across the school, children are showing kindness towards one another, approaching their learning with courage, treating others with respect, building trust and, importantly, remembering to enjoy their learning. These values are at the heart of everything we do at Heathlands and it is a pleasure to see them reflected so clearly in daily school life.
As the term continues, there is plenty to look forward to, with exciting learning planned across all year groups and opportunities for children to shine both in and beyond the classroom. Thank you, as always, for your continued support – it makes a real difference. Please have a look at our school calendar (below) for upcoming events.
I look forward to sharing more highlights with you as the term progresses.
