Of course, what makes any school special is its pupils.  Working with the Heatherton pupils has been a delight and inspiration; they are clearly so happy, excited, confident and love their School.  The girls genuinely know and endorse the School’s values to aim high with integrity, to be adventurous and to serve others.  These values are close to my heart as I passionately believe in the ability of education to change and shape lives.  As we know, the world is rapidly evolving, and it is essential that an outstanding education enables good grades and qualifications whilst equally supporting the development of soft skills, emotional intelligence and character.  Heatherton School offers a safe and supportive environment for pupils to learn from both successes and challenges and prides itself on a promise never to leave anyone behind.  With small class sizes, having a teacher and TA in every classroom, a team of dedicated, caring and passionate staff, broad opportunities in extra-curricular activities, each child is treated individually empowering them to thrive.

My desire is that every pupil leaves Heatherton educationally enthused and motivated, confident, polite, curious, resilient, outward-looking and entirely ready to take on the next steps of her educational journey.

Choosing a school can be a little like house-hunting; you check the facts on paper to see if it could theoretically be the right place, but you don’t know that until you visit in person.  Only then do you have a real sense of what it is really like and whether your child could be happy there.  The minute I walked into Heatherton School, I knew it was the place for me – I felt the warm, friendly, family-like, buzzing atmosphere -and I hope you will too.  I very much look forward to welcoming you to come to see for yourself.
