Awards and Accolades

Heathcote School is one of the three finalists across the nation for ISA Junior School of the Year. Schools are required to demonstrate how their school makes a positive difference to the educational outcomes of the children in its care. These outcomes can be in any or multiple areas of a school’s operation, such as their development and provision for the curriculum, sport, the arts, the co-curriculum or special educational needs. Schools need to prove their sustained excellence in personal and/or academic outcomes, or even the success of an individual child over and above expectations.

The winner will be announced in November 2021.

Miss Georgie Pennycook has been awarded the Pearson National Teaching Silver Award for Outstanding New Teacher of the Year, reflecting her outstanding commitment to enriching the lives of the children she works with every day. Miss P is now on a prestigious shortlist to win the Gold Award in the category later this year, in a programme that will be broadcast by the BBC.
