Sports Day Triumph for Blue Pegasus!

Sports Day proved once again to be a fantastic day for the whole school.  It was so lovely to see the Juniors watching the Seniors field events with amazement and then, an hour later, to see the Seniors cheering on the Juniors in their relays.  (Special congratulations go to Year 3, for having the best change-overs of the day in any relay!) Everyone worked really hard for their houses, but also supported those from other teams.  I was also delighted that due to the demand for the Year 2-4 optional 400m we had to hold two races – it was great to see how much the pupils like competing!
Many congratulations to the Blue Pegasus house, who scored the most points on the day.  However the House Shield for all inter-house activities over the whole year was won by the Red Dragons! I’m sure the Yellow Phoenix and Green Griffin teams will come back stronger next year!
Our thanks to all the staff, parents and alumni  pupils who helped the smooth running of the day.  Mrs Eastwood

Super Physics 2019

A team of four physicists from Heritage took part in the ‘Year 9 Gifted and talented Inter-school competition: Super Physics 2019’,  part of the STEM East initiative and hosted by King Edward VI school in Bury St Edmunds.
It was the first time Heritage entered a team into this event – designed to encourage those interested in physics to consider pursuing a physics related career.  16 schools took part overall and Heritage came 3rd.  The team received the top mark for their poster design and did well in their presentations too.  Many congratulations!

Silver DofE Expedition in the Shropshire Hills

Our Year 11 Silver DofE participants completed their Silver qualifying expedition in the Shropshire Hills. Starting just south of Shrewsbury, they walked up and down over the Stiperstones, the Long Mynd, through Bishop’s Castle and along a portion of the Offa’s Dyke Path before finishing on the third day on the Welsh border. They covered about 50km over the three days. Many congratulations to the group for rising to the challenge and managing it so well!

An Invitational Debate with The Perse

Heritage was pleased to host The Perse Upper for a second invitational debate tournament. Great ideas were shared, challenged and hotly debated around the following motions:

  1. This house believes the stop & search powers of the police should be revoked.
  2. This house resolves that CEOs should never make more than 10 times an entry level salary of their company.
  3. This house would require schools to accommodate students who wish to attend climate protests.

A narrow victory was awarded to The Perse and we look forward to many more debates next year.

Student of the Year!

Many congratulations to Miss Cage, who, on completion of her three year Foundation Degree in Education and Play in association with Anglia Ruskin, has been awarded Student of the Year.  Whilst working alongside Mrs Lee as Lower Prep’s Teaching Assistant, Miss Cage has spent one day a week in College for the first two years of her course, and more recently, half a day per week – as she has been leading Heritage’s After School Club. We are delighted to hear that her hard work, commitment and charisma have been recognised.  She is a huge asset to Heritage and greatly appreciated by us all.
