Ad Astra: to the STARS! 

Character education has always been the soul of Lode Heath School. We truly believe that supporting young people as they flourish into well rounded adults, is as important as academic success. Since the foundation of Lode Heath School in 1939, our school logo has represented this ethos - the bear is a symbol of courage and strength; the star represents the moral compass we instil within our students from the moment they are welcomed into our family.

We have elevated the star on the school logo further into its rightful place which sees students develop character in a structured way, where progress and achievements will be recognised, rewarded and celebrated. Created with the input of students, parents and carers, staff, and the local community, we are proud to introduce our character development scheme: STARS. 

The star on the school logo is us. All of us. Together, Lode Heath students, parents, carers, and staff are STARS.

We are: Sincere, Thoughtful, Aspirational, Resilient and exhibit exceptional Solidarity. 

We shine. We are all part of the wider community and we demonstrate our STARS qualities wherever we go. 

Our motto is ‘Ad Astra’: to the stars! Together this is where we aim to reach.
