We teamed up with Swaffham Town Council to help them with a tree planting project. With the aim to develop more green spaces around our town, we planted saplings on a local field next to the play park...

This year we took part in the 'Learn about Livestock Event' from 20th to 24th March and provided our children with an exciting enrichment opportunity. For one week we looked after an ewe called Blossom and her baby lamb on the school grounds. 

It was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to have some real hands on life experience of caring and looking after sheep. This included feeding, watering, cleaning and grooming the sheep. The children have learnt lots of interesting facts about sheep and other animals on the farm. Here are some of the facts the children have learnt in their classes.

"It's a mammal cause it has fur, it has a backbone. It's mum gives it milk to keep it alive." Callie- Year 1

"A male sheep is called a ram." Charlie- Year 3

"Sheep has hooves, ears a mouth and a fluffy coat." James- Year 3

"A female sheep is called an ewe." Charlotte- Year 3

The children voted to called the boy lamb 'Marshmallow'.

We had a great week looking after them at Heartwood!

Learn to Love- Love to learn 

‘ To infinity and beyond!’  

We use our pupil premium funding wisely to ensure that our children have the social and emotional skills, emotive language and the best start to their learning destinies. 

Quality first teaching of reading and language development will ensure that our wonderful children fulfil their potential with any challenges to learning ‘zapped away’. We plan our strategy to ensure that our disadvantaged pupils are better, confident and life-long learners.

We believe that all children are God’s children and deserve the best in their school.

When children love themselves, their peers, school and community they will have the foundations to love to learn and the sky has no limits to what they can achieve ...

Our 3 year strategy is based around the following 5 priorities to support children with the identified challenges they may face :

• Every teacher a Quality First Educator 
• Every child a reader 
• Every child a confident communicator
• Every child will Learn to love- Love to learn
• Every child to reach for infinity and beyond
