Committed to Excellence
At the heart of our ethos is a ‘Commitment to Excellence’. Underpinning this we have identified five Core Values which the School community believe best exemplify what it means to be a member of The Heathland School.
- Respect – we show each other respect by valuing and celebrating our differences. We create a calm, safe and fair environment.
- Kindness – we recognise the impact we have as individuals on our wider School community. We support one another by listening, sharing, and showing understanding.
- Aspiration – we consistently challenge ourselves to achieve high standards and make the most of all opportunities.
- Dedication – every day, every lesson we are committed to supporting our progress, our School and our community.
- Discipline – we are focused on achieving our goals and are motivated to do the right thing to ensure everyone can achieve.
