A huge thank you to Stephen and Lakshya from The Space Store for leading two really engaging space-related workshops. It was a day full of curiosity and discovery, and left students with plenty to think about!
Here is a summary of just some of the things that our secondary students have been doing this term. Do look at our Highlights of Term 1 - Secondary gallery for lots of photos.
Students have had a wonderful start to the term, settling into routines and enjoying a wide range of exciting learning opportunities. Alongside the learning, there has been a strong focus on developing social skills, building positive relationships and strengthening friendships through shared activities, teamwork and play. Please see our Highlights of Term 1 - Lower School photo gallery for more pictures from the term.

The students in Earth and Stars class had great fun learning important life skills - and enjoyed some very nice treats!
It was a great pleasure to welcome Ruth Bovill back to Heathermount for a special visit!
Foundation had a fantastic day exploring Windsor Great Park and the Adventure Play area. The visit gave the children lots of opportunities to learn, explore and challenge themselves outside the classroom.
All of our new level 2 students demonstrated excellent skills during a practical assessment for their Level 2 Food Production and Cookery City & Guilds programme. We were very impressed by the professional and positive approach they took.
Students (and staff!) enjoyed taking part in Jeans for Genes Day, wearing jeans to school in return for a small donation.
Families and visitors returning at the start of term will have noticed a real change! Not only has our logo and branding been refreshed to align more closely with Cavendish Education, but over the summer we have also undertaken a huge programme of improvement and refurbishment.
Heatherfest, our end of year celebration, had a carnival theme this year. There were games and stalls, bouncy castles, face painting, balloon modelling and an ice cream van, as well as performances and lots of awards.
