At Heronswood, we strive to make the time our children spend at school as fun, exciting, engaging and as memorable as possible. We recognise that children learn best when they have an emotional connection to the activities they are participating in. We do this through a stimulating, vibrant curriculum but also by bringing in outside people and by taking the children out on trips and visits.

Please see our Facebook Page - Heronswood Primary School and Pre-School for our most recent updates since May 2025.

  Bell Heath Part 3. Anyone with a head for heights? Children had to climb the extremely tall and wobbly quad-pole and then stand on the top platform waiting for their other three team mates to join them. Although there were some initial nerves, the children smashed this task, showing us how amazing they were with overcoming their fears. Group 4, you made Mrs Kingston extremely proud!
