Joe's story from Year 6 to Year 11

Joe's first day at Heron Hall

Joe's journey from primary to secondary school

Joe came to Heron in September 2020 and received his GCSE results in August 2025.

We were able to film Joe throughout his journey with us.

You can see Joe develop from a shy Year 6 in his primary school, to a very confident, ambitious young man in Year 11.

You can watch some short films on YouTube about Joe and how he has made the transition from primary to secondary school and how he has been getting on ever since here.

Our curriculum

At Heron Hall Academy we aim to provide a skilful and knowledge-engaged curriculum which centres around how children learn to ensure all students strive to make the most progress they can.

The curriculum has two principal aims:

• To provide opportunities for all students to learn and achieve to their highest potential, and to become successful lifelong learners

• To promote students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development ensuring diversity is embraced, and prepare them to become responsible citizens
