We are delighted to announce our pupils’ excellent exam results for this year, with 73% of all grades at 9 or 8. Headmaster Jason Fletcher says:

‘Today, we are celebrating the excellent exam results achieved by our outgoing Year 11 pupils, with our highest ever proportion of exam entries – 73% – being awarded 9 or 8. This is higher than last year when exams were centre-assessed, and almost double the percentage of top grades awarded in 2019, the last time pupils sat normal exams. We are delighted too by numerous outstanding personal achievements, where grades awarded exceeded expectations.

Our outgoing Year 11 pupils have done exceptionally well, and all the more so in view of the severe disruption to learning that they have experienced over the past two and a half years. We are very proud of them and their resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to support our pupils throughout the pandemic and to ensure their steady progress through the curriculum. That our proportion of top grades is higher than ever is a testimony to their dedication and professionalism.

Amidst a national picture of falling GCSE results, ours went in the opposite direction. Our best ever results demonstrate once again that our small class sizes, personalised attention and positive learning culture adds significant value. Heritage is a school that helps pupils achieve more than they otherwise would have done. Congratulations to our outgoing Year 11 pupils! We wish them all the best for their next chapter.’

Year 4 Camp

In Year 4, pupils are introduced to school camps with a local one night away. This year, the class spent a beautiful June evening camping out at Abington Woods Campsite. The experience gave them an opportunity to work as a team, pitch a tent, and eat and sleep out of doors. During the day, they enjoyed a variety of activities with their classmates and teachers — including orienteering, firefighting and a scavenger hunt. Later, they sat out around the campfire; the perfect way to end the day, made even more enjoyable with the obligatory roasting of marshmallows. The aim is to have lots of fun and to help prepare the pupils for the outdoor programme in later years; and this year’s experience accomplished exactly that. Thanks to Mrs Bracegirdle, Mr Buchanan, Mrs Eldridge, Mr and Mrs Fletcher, Mr Seth Fletcher, and Mrs Watkins for helping to make the Year 4 camp so memorable.

Year 5 and 6 Camp

During the last week of the school term, Years 5 and 6 joined together for a three-night camp in Norfolk. During the days the campers enjoyed some excellent sailing,  geocaching, a coastal hike, a river walk, and a visit to Horsey Beach to see some seals. They also explored the wildlife and habitats of the Norfolk Broads (including pond dipping and an invertebrate survey), and paid a visit to the nature reserve and St Benet’s Abbey. In the evenings, there was plenty of free time for the nightly wide  games, eating al fresco meals prepared by Mrs Bruins, and just spending time outside together. The camp was possible as always thanks to the tireless efforts of our staff and volunteers: Mr Bayley, Mrs Bracegirdle, Mrs Bruins, Mr Buchanan,  Mrs Eldridge, Mr Fletcher, Mrs Parkinson, Mr Pitcher, and Miss Rogers. More photos will be posted on our website photo galleries during the summer holidays.
