Welcome to Heron Hall Academy

At Heron Hall Academy, we are committed to creating an environment where every student can achieve their full potential. As a growing academy, we are always looking for passionate, talented individuals to join our team and contribute to the success and development of our students.

Our Vision

We aim to be an outstanding academy, recognised for its excellent academic standards, where students can succeed in any social sphere. Our vision extends beyond academic achievements, focusing on developing students as well-rounded individuals, ready to excel in their futures.

Our Values

At Heron Hall Academy, values are crucial as they provide a clear framework that guides students' behaviour and decision-making. These values create a sense of community and belonging, helping to foster a positive and respectful academy environment. By teaching values, we prepare students with essential life skills that extend beyond academics, shaping them into responsible and empathetic individuals. These values encourage a culture of high expectations, motivating students to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. Ultimately, our values lay the foundation for students to become engaged, thoughtful and resilient members of society.

Our STRIVE Values

One of the key pillars of life at Heron Hall is the focus on developing students’ character education. We aim to help them develop the skills and traits to thrive in life. We call these our STRIVE values.

Supportive: I help my peers and my teachers

Tolerant: I respect other people’s differences

Resilient: I never give up when it’s tough

Integrity: I do the right thing all of the time

Visionary: I aim higher and further

Excellence: I never settle for less than my best

You can download a copy of the school's STRIVE values booklet to understand the principles.
