The principle aim of the school is for everyone in our school community to Thrive Together. Heathfield has a long track record of high quality engaging education for children in Basford and Bulwell, this has been guided by our core values of Knowledge, Nurture and Enrichment.
We provide a rounded and tailored curriculum that meets the needs of every child by knowing their individual contexts, needs, knowledge and skills. We then use our Heathfield Pledge to outline the expectations that we place on the pupils and ourselves. We are a large Local Authority maintained school with two campuses.
Our original school is on Scotland Road in Basford and accommodates up to 280 pupils plus a nursery. Our second campus is on Kersall Drive in Bulwell (approx. a mile apart). The Kersall Drive Campus opened in October 2015 and accommodates an additional 420 pupils plus a nursery.
