Heene CofE Primary School

My daughter has been going to Heene since the very beginning of her starting school in Reception. She is now leaving year 6, today being her last day. She has loved it, the teachers really do care. And the headteacher, is one of those teachers, where she recognises the talents of the pupils, and sees their potential. She wants the best for the children and is just superb, really approachable, any problems, queries, even if general, she will take the time to respond, as well as follow up. Thank you Heene Primary for all you have done, the support and guidance you have provided to our daughter and to us as parents too.

Okay, these reviews are over-exaggerated. Miss Beer is completely fine and not abusive. Yes, the hall isn't exactly clean, but it's okay. The only 'bad' teachers I've had are substitutes. And it was probably the kids' fault that the teachers were quote unquote 'abusive'. Most of the kids there are quite bad behaved anyway (the younger ones). They are not racist either. Overall, it's not bad. -L. A. a former student.

Words cannot describe how much i hated every minute of being at this school. Not only are the teachers rude and abuse their power, they LOVE to gossip, and stir up arguments between their pupils. I am now a year 11 and looking back at my experience at this school i am truly disgusted. at the age of 11 i was struggling a lot with my body image and developed an eating disorder. i remember we went on a residential, and our class was going swimming.I was crying and shaking with anxiety, because i didn’t want all the other kids to see my body. i thought they would judge me, and instead of comforting and reassuring me, my teacher, and the now Ex- Head mistress, laughed at me and told me i was stupid for worrying about my body at such a young age. This was not the only occasion in which these teachers had mocked me for my poor mental health. I’m so relieved to see that Jo Beer has now taken the role of head mistress, and i’m almost certain she will be able to turn the school around, as she was one of the only teachers to be so kind and welcoming to me when i had first joined this school.
