Heath Lane Academy: 

Heath Lane Academy offers a vibrant, caring and aspirational learning environment for the young people of our community. Our mission is to 'develop good people' and we pride ourselves on the high expectations we have of our students in everything that we do. Our school has improved significantly in recent years and our pupil numbers continue to grow as a result. 

Our school culture, based on our values of Work Hard, Be Kind and Be Respectful, demands that students are well behaved and demonstrate a positive attitude to their education. Students and staff understand that our strong culture gives our students the best possible chance to be successful in their lives and make a positive contribution to our community and wider society. 

Every member of staff at Heath Lane Academy has a responsibility to promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people with whom they come into contact.  

We are an inclusive academy and strive to be a learning, caring and thriving institution. 

We take the safeguarding of students and staff seriously at Heath Lane Academy.  All staff are expected to support this ethos.
