Dear Parents/Carers/Staff and Children - welcome to Heron Way!

Welcome to Heron Way Primary School.

First of all, thank you for your continued support and for the part you play in making Heron Way such a special school community. The teamwork, care and sheer hard work that shine through our school are extraordinary. Our successes in 2025 reflect the strength of that community and the commitment we share to giving every child the very best possible start.

We are consistently among the top schools in West Sussex for Year 6 outcomes, and we are incredibly proud that our children move on to secondary school genuinely “secondary ready.”

We are ambitious for every child and believe that our emphasis on high-quality teaching is central to our success. We spend a great deal of time ensuring that, as teachers, we are well prepared and that we continue to learn, reflect and improve so that we can engage and support every single child.

We expect a great deal from our children, encouraging them to work hard, aim high and accomplish remarkable things, while also having plenty of fun along the way. To help children reach new heights, we ensure that they are nurtured, supported and valued. Children at Heron Way know that the staff are always firmly “in their corner.”

We value every individual within our school community. Staff, parents and governors are all part of a wonderful team, working together to secure the very best future for our children.

Heron Way Primary School is an innovative and aspirational environment where motivation, achievement and personal growth are encouraged for all. At the end of each day, we enrich our offer with a wide variety of activities, from additional sports and specialist clubs to extended support for literacy and mathematics.

Together, in partnership, we will continue to help our children meet the challenges of tomorrow with confidence, curiosity and joy.

Thank you for your continued support.
