Heathside School

“The school is highly ambitious for pupils’ achievement. The sustained efforts of staff and pupils ensure that these ambitions become a reality. Pupils achieve strongly in public examinations and throughout the school. The school takes a consistent and proactive approach to behaviour. As a result, pupils display high standards of conduct and are motivated to learn. They feel that the house point system rewards them for living up to the school’s values. When pupils’ behaviour needs correcting, the school supports this effectively. … Pupils achieve very highly across all areas of the curriculum. This reflects the school’s curriculum and the emphasis on high-value qualifications. Leaders make sure that pupils’ learning goes beyond the national curriculum. By ensuring that all pupils access the same wealth of knowledge, the school caters strongly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged.”
