Headlands School & Community Science College

Welcome to the latest Headteacher's Update. It has been a busy and successful term for all of us connected with the school. You will now have received the latest Ofsted report and this, coupled with the improved examination results, gives us a good foundation for a really positive future. For this update we have really focussed on the pupils' achievements and celebrated the many exciting things that they are involved in. I hope this publication gives you a flavour of the wide variety of activities that pupils are excelling in. I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff, volunteers, parents and pupils involved in these, and other activities, for their dedication and hard work. Well done to all involved. . All that remains for me to do is wish you a Happy Christmas as we all look forward to seeing Headlands go from strength to strength in the New Year.
