Pupils at Heathfields Infant Academy are well-behaved. Staff make sure that they follow the school rules of ‘kind hands, kind feet, kind words’. Pupils learn how to recognise and manage their feelings. Staff listen to and act on any worries or concerns pupils have. This means pupils are ready to learn. The ‘earth, moon, stars’ behaviour management system motivates pupils to behave well. Staff encourage pupils to reflect on the impact of their behaviour on others. Pupils are happy and safe. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibilities in school. For instance, milk monitors and class librarians. This helps them to be active citizens. At social times pupils enjoy playing games or chatting with friends. Play leaders support pupils to play well together. Pupils enjoy attending clubs where they learn new skills or interests. These include archery, crafts, football, gardening and choir club. The school sets high expectations for all pupils. Pupils meet these expectations. They achieve well in school, particularly in reading. Pupils work hard in lessons and want to do their best. Pupils deepen their learning during a visiting theatre, trips to a castle, the beach and a farm. Most parents and carers are very positive about the quality of education their children receive.
