The best start for a brilliant future
Heathfield Nursery & Infant School...
Ofsted inspection report. April 2025.
...is a place where every child feels important, succeeds and aspires to something greater.
We achieve this through a broad and exciting curriculum combined with a focus on individual needs and a nurturing and united community.
We challenge our children to be ambitious learners who strive for excellence and achievement across all aspects of school life. Children come first: everything we do is designed for their learning, enjoyment and success.
Our goal is to enrich their lives both now and in the future.

Spark! Book Awards
We are delighted to have been awarded the Bronze Spark! Mark accreditation. This recognises our commitment to sharing high quality children's literature within school and taking an active part in the SPARK! book awards. Through this award, the children have the chance to listen to a selection of newly published books multiple times, vote for their favourite and then take part in a live awards ceremony in the summer.
We were also awarded the SPARK! School of the Year trophy in 2022 out of all the schools which take part!
We are very proud of these awards and of all our children who enjoy sharing books so much in school and at home.
Achievement Data
We are delighted with the progress our children make at Heathfield from the very earliest stages of their educaion. One measure of their outcomes is our externally published data at the end of Recepion and the performance they achieve in their Phonics Screening Check in Year 1.
We have high expectaions of all children, including the children in mainstream with additional needs and EHCPs, and those within our specialist provisions.
As an Infant School, we focus on developing the children's early skills in reading, writing and maths, along with ensuring the children have a wide vocabulary and are able to listen carefully, express themselves clearly and work and play happily alongside each other.
