Our curriculum

At Heron Hall Academy we aim to provide a skilful and knowledge-engaged curriculum which centres around how children learn to ensure all students strive to make the most progress they can.

The curriculum has two principal aims: 

To provide opportunities for all students to learn and achieve to their highest potential, and to become successful lifelong learners 

To promote students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development ensuring diversity is embraced, and prepare them to become responsible citizens
