Overall Conclusions

Heathfield St Mary’s is a school with a distinctive character and a number of excellent features. The school has been through a period of very significant change, with the merger of two schools on two separate and distant sites into one new school. Staff at all levels have co-operated and worked very hard to maintain a stable and happy environment for the pupils and to meet the school’s aims during this difficult period. The educational experience provided is good and securely in line with the educational objectives of the school. The school gives pupils a good grounding in spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Pupils’ knowledge, skills, understanding and application are good, and they are keen and inquisitive learners. Teaching at the school is good and sometimes outstanding, and this, together with small classes and very good teaching resources, ensures that pupils of differing abilities make good progress and succeed above expectations in examinations. Middle managers work hard to fulfil their roles. The welfare, health and safety of pupils are good overall. Pastoral care is outstanding and a major strength of the school. This is a school that knows its pupils well and is meticulous in giving attention to the needs of individuals. Boarding provision is good and well organised.
