At Heaton school we foster a 4 word ethos that both students and staff use to steer their purpose and direction when in school: ENJOY - At the heart of all our learning is enjoyment. CHALLENGE - There is an expectation that everyone should be challenged to 'be better' and to always strive to improve.
CELEBRATE - DIversity and inclusion is celebrated widely throughout school and every opportunity is taken to enable our students to celebrate this! We also ensure that students are recognised for their achievements whilst with us at School. ACHIEVE - We want all our students to achieve great things!
