Welcome from the Head

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Heyes Lane Primary School. Having spent many years as part of the Heyes Lane community, I feel a deep sense of pride and commitment to the school and everything it stands for. After serving the school for a significant period of time, including many years as Deputy Headteacher, it has been a real privilege in recent years to take on the role of Headteacher and to lead this fantastic school into the next stage of its journey.

With extensive experience in education, much of it gained here at Heyes Lane, I know first‑hand what a truly special school we are. With confident, polite and articulate children, alongside enthusiastic, dynamic and engaging staff, we live by our ethos of being ‘an exceptional school for everyone’.

Our 5 Core Values and 5 Beliefs remain at the heart of everything we do. I am passionate about providing our children with exciting, creative and meaningful learning experiences that build their enthusiasm for learning and support their growth in many different ways. Our talented and dedicated staff ensure that learning is inspiring and engaging, enabling pupils to make excellent progress and achieve high standards. The atmosphere and culture of our school nurtures and supports all our pupils to become the very best version of themselves, to feel confident in who they are, and to develop a love and respect for others and for the world around them. At Heyes Lane, we pride ourselves on giving every child a happy, successful and memorable primary school experience.

When pupils leave Heyes Lane Primary School, our core aims are that they:

• have the confidence and belief to achieve anything in their future life
• are empowered, confident and successful learners – excited by the world and driven by a love of learning
• have enjoyed opportunities and experiences that nurture and enrich their childhood through our bespoke, inspiring and hands‑on curriculum
• are highly knowledgeable, skilled and fluent in reading, writing, maths and computing, able to apply, reason and create confidently with these
• are highly ethical and active young citizens, with respect and care for people and our planet

A very warm welcome to our website and to Heyes Lane Primary School.
