Values & Ethos

Our 4 word ethos

At Heaton school we foster a 4 word ethos that both students and staff use to steer their purpose and direction when in school:

ENJOY - At the heart of all our learning is enjoyment.

CHALLENGE - There is an expectation that everyone should be challenged to 'be better' and to always strive to improve.

CELEBRATE - DIversity and inclusion is celebrated widely throughout school and every opportunity is taken to enable our students to celebrate this! We also ensure that students are recognised for their achievements whilst with us at School.

ACHIEVE - We want all our students to achieve great things!

Our Values

• We value every student as a unique individual with unique talents to share and develop.
• We strive to create an environment where we are secure in the knowledge that we all have the same expectations of ourselves as we have for those that educate our loved ones.
• We tailor support to enable each student to progress at a pace that suits the individual and our ambitious curriculum focuses on activities and topics which excite and engage our students.
• We prioritise health and wellbeing so that students are ready to learn.
• We prioritise self-esteem, independence, participation and celebrating every student’s individual journey and achievements!
• We have a strong community and team ethos - school staff work collaboratively together working closely with partner agencies.
• We offer our students wide opportunities to engage and interact within our local community (and surrounding Stockport area)
