Heathfield the Penguin has really missed everyone this summer...
So it was lovely to see everyone back on site today!
Our pupils have settled into their new classes, got to grips with new timetables and routines, caught up with friends and enjoyed a brilliant welcome-back assembly to officially get the new academic year underway.
The school has been buzzing with energy all day, with plenty of excitement about the year ahead and lots of new opportunities already on the horizon.
And there have been plenty of changes around the site over the summer too! New toilets, our new Outdoor Gym Equipment almost ready to go, new Art rooms and plenty of other improvements for our pupils to discover.
A brilliant start to the new academic year. Welcome back, everyone — we’re looking forward to an exciting year of Enrich, Challenge and Prepare.
Have you had a fun summer?
We hope so! Our staff have certainly made the most of theirs, with something for everyone’s tastes: from cookery courses in Greece to seeing Take That in Dublin; from watching Jason in High School Musical to taking part in an open-water swimming event; and from watching the Commonwealth Netball Final to motorbiking through the Alps. And that’s just a small selection of what they’ve been up to!
Can you guess which member of staff took each photo?
But now the classrooms are ready, the final planning is taking place and our staff are back on site preparing for the return of our pupils tomorrow.
We hope everyone has had a fantastic summer and enjoyed some time to relax, have fun and make some memories. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Heathfield Knoll tomorrow for another exciting year.
The summer is over. Let’s get started!
Happy New Academic Year to all. Love Mrs T xxxx
ASA Spotlight: Jujutsu and Tag Rugby
Our new ASA programme is now open for bookings, with activities beginning from Monday 7 September. There is still time to get involved and choose from the fantastic range of opportunities on offer.
This week we are highlighting two of our externally run activities, offering very different ways for pupils to get active, learn new skills and have fun.
Jujutsu has been a firm favourite at Heathfield Knoll for many years, with a fantastic group of pupils returning year after year to develop their skills, confidence and discipline.
Joining our programme this year is Tag Rugby, delivered by our new partners at Elevate Performance Academy. A brilliant, energetic activity for our Junior pupils, it is a great way to get active, develop teamwork and enjoy learning a new sport in a fun and supportive environment.
With plenty of other activities available across the week, take a look at the full programme and sign up on SchoolBase before activities begin on Monday 7 September.
Learning Begins Outdoors
There is something special about seeing our youngest children explore the woods.
For pre-school aged children, outdoor learning provides endless opportunities to develop confidence, coordination, communication and independence, while encouraging curiosity and a natural love of exploration.
A woodland is full of things to discover: sticks to collect, leaves to investigate, trees to climb around, muddy puddles to jump in and endless opportunities for imaginative play. These simple experiences help children learn to assess risk, solve problems and work together, often without even realising they are learning.
At Heathfield Knoll, our wonderful wooded site gives our youngest pupils the space to explore, get messy, ask questions and have fun outdoors every day.
Want to see it for yourself? Come and explore our Nursery and beautiful woodland site at our Open Day on Saturday 12 September, 10am–12pm.
