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.

• Roald Dahl Day Readers

  Fri 13 Sep 2024

  As Readers, all children celebrated Roald Dahl Day with the launch of our brand new Reading Shed. Children read short snippets of Roald Dahl's classic texts or listened to some of his humorous poems. Children also had time to explore the new books in the shed and just.... read.

  Our new school council will be deciding how the reading shed is used at lunch and breaktimes alongside timetabled sessions during lesson time for all year groups. Thank you for all your support and donations over the last couple of years to launch this- the children love it.
