About

All parents see the education of their children as one of the most important parts of their lives and here, at Heather Garth Primary School, we feel exactly the same. The website gives an overview of the education and experiences we offer.

It cannot give a full picture but we hope that it will give you an insight into our work, our values and our aims for all members of our school community. At Heather Garth we aspire to have an educational community that: Ensures all learners are inspired and motivated to learn, improve and achieve success through opportunity, praise and choice.

Builds positive relationships through empathy, honesty, trust, respect and genuine care for each other. Promotes a sense of security, ownership, pride and responsibility. We believe that our aims and values can be most effectively fulfilled through a close partnership between home and school and we hope that the website will give you an insight into our school community.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (13 current, 2 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

13 governors are linked to a profile (12 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
