New Outdoor Areas at Heathlands!

Our new outdoor learning/all weather play area and gym trail are now ready and set for good use by the pupils at Heathlands.  Already this morning our year 5 classes took advantage of the fine weather, using the outside stage area during literacy to perform their poetry.
