Welcome from the Head Teacher Darren Smith. Headlands Primary School & Nursery is described as an ambitious, innovative and inclusive school focused on developing the character of the ‘whole child,’ ensuring high-quality teaching, and offering a wide range of experiences. The school emphasizes involvement with NPAT, residential experiences, and a lifelong love of learning while aiming to support all children to reach their aspirational potential.
