We’re excited to receive £10,000 from The National Education Nature Park to help transform our school estate. This funding will support biodiversity improvements, turning grey spaces green with planters, trees, green walls, ponds and water butts.
As part of a nationwide network of schools taking action for nature, our students will help study, enhance, and protect local biodiversity, making a lasting impact on their environment.
Pi, the number used to measure circles, is key to maths, science, engineering, and more.
As part of marking Pi Day, our students took part in hands-on activities that brought maths to life. In Design Technology, they modelled a torch using geometrical shapes, exploring how maths is used in design and engineering.
In Food Technology, they baked pies, calculated the surface area of the pie box, and used the Explore Food website to work out their pie’s nutritional value.
A fun and engaging way to apply maths in real life.

At Heron Hall Academy, we have always put our students at the heart of everything we do – creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where every child is valued, respected, and empowered. To build on this commitment, we are working towards becoming a UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School. This will further embed the principles of equality, dignity, and participation into daily school life, reinforcing the values we already uphold.
