Heaton news - WB 9th February

Date: 13th Feb 2026 @ 3:31pm

Where opportunities arise our curriculum is designed to give students an insight into different cultures and to celebrate diversity throughout the school. This week students from Helen and Nicolas class have been learning about chinese new year through taking part in a shadow puppet show depicting the story of the animal race.

On Thursday some of Holly's class had the opportunity to visit the sensory room at Manchester City. The informal pathway focusses heavily on accessing the community safely and experiencing a range of opportunities. Charlie, Yazan and Cameron were fantastic representatives of Heaton School.

Stockport’s HAF programme  is running again this half term, making sure eligible children can enjoy fun, active days with a healthy meal included.  Also, One Stockport SEND Local Offer have pulled together a summary of support available over the holidays for families of children and young people with SEND.
