Mrs Forgeron Many thanks to all of you who attended our work sharing afternoons last week. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to see your children’s books and folders. I hope also that you find the parents’ evenings this week and next informative and helpful. This month’s theme is humility. Humility often conjures up images of weakness, submissiveness and fear but […]

Mrs Forgeron So have you started your Christmas shopping yet? When I espied our Christmas tree all beautifully lit up in the front playground this morning, I felt that little tingle of Christmas excitement.

Mrs Forgeron I love this time of year when all the anticipation of the Yuletide season starts to simmer and bubble and we can see the children (and the staff!) starting to get excited about Christmas time.   The Heathcote Christmas tree is already taking pride of place in the front playground, lit and decorated and ready for the festivities […]

Mrs Forgeron This week we have been delighted to welcome so many of you to the Parent Consultation evenings. It has been lovely to explore with you how well your children are doing and to discuss their progress and achievements. As always such occasions make me very proud to be Headmistress at Heathcote. Last week I was fortunate to attend […]

Mrs Forgeron “Curiouser and Curiouser” wrote Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland. This month’s theme of curiosity can certainly give us more creative food for thought. Curiosity allows us to challenge ourselves and question our world. By digging a little deeper and feeding our minds,being curious helps us discover new passions in ourselves and new delights in others. Curiosity is […]

Mrs Forgeron … for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9) Some people might say that holding a Harvest Festival service is an outdated thing for us to do, particularly in this modern world when we don’t really think too much about where our food comes from and just go to the […]
