School Description

Pupils thrive at Heath Farm School. The exceptional quality of care and education makes a positive and pivotal difference to their lives. The school’s values of ‘love, commitment and opportunity’ are part of pupils’ everyday lived experience here. A culture of inclusion and support pervades this school. Relationships between pupils and staff are built on the highest levels of mutual respect and care. Effective and personalised transition programmes give pupils the greatest chance to experience success from the very first day that they attend. Adults use their specialist knowledge well to ensure that learning environments are both calm and purposeful. Pupils enjoy outside play and exercise during their busy breaktimes. Lunchtimes in the school hall are social events where pupils and staff come together, and the sense of community is tangible. Pupils’ interests are catered for carefully, with opportunities to learn musical instruments or photography. There is a focus on outdoor learning in the dedicated forest school area. Pupils are proud to contribute to their community, through growing food that is used in the meals prepared by the school’s kitchen. Parents, carers and legal guardians are effusive in their praise of the school. Many shared their view that coming here had been ‘transformative’ for their child.
