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.

• Pre-School Healthy Eating

  Thu 23 Jan 2025

  Pre-School have really enjoyed learning about healthy eating this week, cutting and tasting fruit at snack time alongside their friends. Practising their fine motor skills and hand eye coordination to safely cut melon, strawberries and banana, the best bit was the tasting after selecting fruit to thread onto their own skewers. The children shared their likes and dislikes in food too. Pre-School were super proud of the the children that tried all of the different flavours.
