Individual achievement, attendance and high standards of courtesy and behaviour are all celebrated at College. Throughout the College praises are awarded by staff for achievement, effort and contribution to College values and aspirations. Praise is tiered at three levels P1, P2 & P3.
Students can be awarded a P1 or P2 for displaying the Heathfield Habits in the classroom or in the wider College community.
A P3 is issued by a Head of Department, a Head of Year or a member of the Senior Leadership Team for an outstanding contribution over a period of time.
All praise is logged electronically in our database and is celebrated in a celebration assembly three times a year where certificates are awarded.
The Tony Russell Award
Tony Russell was Deputy Head here for 21 years, from 1966 until 1987 when he retired. Unfortunately, he died during the summer holidays immediately after leaving school. His wife, Dot Russell, who also worked here as a secretary, set up this award as a way of remembering Tony. The Awards are presented annually to one student from each year group for exceptional achievement. Please note that this is not just for those students who have sat in class and not been a problem, but for anyone who has achieved over and above their call of duty or ability in any field. These achievements can be related to a number of areas, such as: Service to the College, academic excellence/effort/progress, sport, music, drama, etc. Whilst it is intended that recognition primarily be given to achievement within the college, efforts outside the college, such as service to the community, are also considered. Nominations for the award can come from all sections of the college including students, staff and parents. Nominations can be given to form tutors or subject staff who would then pass them to the appropriate Head of Year. The Head of Year then draws up a short list of students for consideration with a short report, indicating the areas of achievement. The recipients of the awards are decided by Mrs Russell.
