Dear Parents and Guardians Heathfield has returned to life! It is wonderful to see the enjoyment of school life, from lessons and co-curricular activities, to weekends and evenings, and simply having the time to enjoy our beautiful surroundings together in the sunshine. We have reflected this week on being known. Being understood, being true to ourselves during good times and challenges, and being valued both as an individual, and as part of our community. We benefit from having the gift of time at Heathfield. Seeing everyone enjoying their activities last weekend and Form III overcoming their challenges with their friends with huge smiles (most of the time!) demonstrated the bonds they are building. It is these shared experiences that will see their friendships cemented for years to come. Form V and UVI are working with determination and focus during this period of assessments and I have been so impressed with their attitude. As young people mature, they need different types of support and opportunity, and you will have received an update from Tom Cross Brown this week regarding progress on our new industry-leading Sixth Form Centre. I would like to add my grateful thanks to all who have been involved thus far; we are reaching an exciting stage in the development, with plans for the evolution of the Sixth Form Programme progressing alongside the physical building. Please do read our Transformation of Heathfield's Sixth Form booklet for more information and contact Mrs
Emma Boryer or myself if you would like to speak further. We cannot wait to share more details and images with you over the coming weeks and months, with many opportunities for the pupils to get involved with decision making to influence their future Sixth Form experience. The pupils and staff continue to be an absolute joy, throwing themselves into school life. Opportunities to meet you all as parents and guardians are also restarting, allowing us to get to know each other more fully. It’s because of each individual, yourselves included, that we are such a strong family community. We belong. And that is something to be very grateful for indeed.
