Summer is here and the weather is hot. Students have enjoyed the opportunity to take part in lots of water related activities in different areas of our school.

Heatherwood hosted another successful Sports Day on Friday, 13th June 2025. All activities were adaptable and perfectly suited to the needs of our students. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to show their support. We hope you had as much fun as the pupils.

Last week, students from The Key spent two nights at Walesby Forest. Whilst there, they practised the skills they will need to complete their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. Thank you to the staff who made this trip possible and also to the two peer mentors who supported the other students with their camping knowledge.

As part of Pride Enrichment Day we looked at diversity and explored how we can make sure that everyone is welcome, everyone has a voice and most importantly everyone is valued.

Pupils wore colourful clothes, took part in creative activities and finished the day with a "Cheesy Disco."

Well done to the group of pupils from The Key who represented Heatherwood at a local Boccia Tournament on 6th May 2025. We are pleased to announce that their team won the competition. 

Boccia is a target sport played indoors with soft leather balls, and is designed for athletes with high support needs. To learn more about Boccia click on the link below:

Thursday, 8th May was the 80th Anniversary of V.E. Day and everyone at Heatherwood enjoyed celebrating the occasion. The school held a street party (with fish and chip lunch) which was followed in the afternoon by a 1940s themed disco.
