Heathfield Academy

Join us and you’ll be a part of passionate team that is defining a brand new school. 

Heathfield Academy opened in September 2015 to improve the life chances of all our children. By providing them with an outstanding education, we will help them reach their full potential and lead successful lives.

How we work

Underpinning all we do is a belief that every moment a child is in school must be used effectively. 

We work collaboratively to achieve excellence in all we do and aim to make learning experiences varied and inclusive. Raising standards, particularly in English and maths, remains our main objective. 

As a STEP academy, our values – Passion, Urgency, Positivity, Aspiration and Commitment – are at the heart of everything we do. Working with our community, we aim to provide opportunities for local children to learn in a safe, happy and multicultural environment.

Facilities and location 

We are excited to move into a brand new building in September 2016, which is being built as part of the Targeted Basic Needs Programme. Croydon is well connected being just 15 minutes by train into central London. It’s also part of the tram network and the town is on the outskirts of the M25. 

STEP Academy Trust – why work with us

We know that it is the exceptional quality of our staff that is key to our success. That’s why we’ll invest in your career and give you an unrivalled benefits package.

We are a growing family of primary academies that strive together for excellence. So we spread best practice, transfer staff to support partner academies, share specialist knowledge and consistently challenge the status quo. Giving you every opportunity to grow and develop in your role.
