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.

• 5CH Harvington Hall Trip

  Mon 13 Mar 2023

  5CH had a wonderful day as experimental archaeologists at Harvington Hall yesterday. We learned all about life in a Tudor house and had the chance to explore Tudor clothing, dance, deportment, table manners, artefacts and board games. We also saw the hides that Catholic priests were hidden in when searchers came looking for them. Some children even had a go at hiding themselves. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and the children made us so proud.
