Welcome to Heatherlands Primary School

I am delighted to welcome you to Heatherlands Primary School and to share a little more about who we are and what we do. 

Heatherlands is both a standards focused school with high expectations for all of our children in terms of their behaviour, appearance and attitude and a school that understands the importance of creating a climate that supports children’s well-being and emotional resilience in order to achieve the high expectations we have for each of them. 

Children begin their journey at Heatherlands in The Early Years and remain at the school until they leave, ready to begin their secondary education, at the end of Year 6. 

We believe it is essential that children are prepared each step of the way to take their place in the wider society to enable them to achieve their individual hopes, dreams and aspirations.

This website is designed to provide you with some of the important information you will need to help make an informed choice when choosing the right school for your child. We fully appreciate it is such an important decision and we want to help you to get it right!

The website is also our platform for sharing some of the special things we do that make Heatherlands the right choice for many children and families as they start their exciting school journey. We know we have the power to change and influence lives during the time the children are at our school so we do all we can to create the right atmosphere and environment for all children to flourish.

However we also know that the only true way to fully appreciate what we call the ‘Heatherlands Way’ is to come and see us in action.

Please contact the school office to book a visit where you will be guaranteed a warm welcome to our fantastic school. 

We look forward to meeting you soon and being a part of the best kept secret in Poole.
