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.

With only a few spaces left, now is the perfect time to secure a spot for your child in an environment where they will thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

   

  At our school, we focus on each child's unique potential, offering engaging and inspiring learning experiences that spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning.
