Due to the high numbers of provisional bookings we are proud to offer a fun and enriching two week Summer School programme which will provide a unique opportunity for pupils to;

• Recover missed learning and development
• Improve physical and mental health, wellbeing and education engagement
• Build a community with their fellow pupils and forge relationships with new teachers
• Familiarise themselves with the Heathland School

During this time we will have lots of fun activities arranged to stretch and challenge your abilities. You will have countless chances to earn prizes and celebrate the achievements of others every morning during assembly!

Each day will consist of two lessons, a sporting activity and endless opportunities to make friends with your new classmates! We even have the ZooLab coming to school to show all of their animals!
