- United Kingdom
Headlands is a lively, vibrant, friendly and purposeful community. We also believe that this positive school ethos significantly impacts on the health and well-being of students and staff. This is a happy and successful school.
Headlands now operates a Vertical Tutor Group system. In this system tutor groups are created from a mixture of year groups from year 7 – 11. The school is divided into five Houses to which a number of the groups belong.
Headlands School is very proud of its status as a Specialist Science College. We were one of the first schools in the country to achieve this status and are preparing for re-designation this year.
Being a Specialist College means we:
• are a member of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust
• are able to have smaller GCSE classes in some subjects
• can run a number of extra GCSE classes that do not normally run at state schools
(such as Geology and Astronomy)
• can run classes for the community such as GCSE Maths and ICT training
• have frequent events and trips for pupils
