If you missed our Open Evening for the September, 2010, intake which was held in the summer term, please speak with our Admissions Officer, Mrs. Georgina Mackie, on 01524 416830, and she will be pleased to arrange for you to be part of one of the tours around school which we will be holding this term.  You will be able to see the school in action during the working day and ask the questions which are important to you before making your choice of secondary school for your son or daughter.  

"The truth is that we have never seen a school where there is so much positive active engagement of the students.  Heysham is rapidly developing a reputation as a school to which we want to send other teachers and Headteachers to learn from your good practice."
