Meet The Team
My name is Ms Shields, Co-Headteacher
I am the Co-Headteacher, also responsible for Pastoral Care, which includes the management of Heath House. I work with the Heath House team to ensure an outstanding boarding experience is provided for all children and young people which meets all the statutory requirements.
My name is Nicholas (Lead Residential Support Worker)
My name is Lena (Senior Residential Support Worker)
I have worked in Heath House for two years as a Residential Support Worker. When I was growing up I attended Heathlands School as a day pupil however I experienced boarding in Derby College for three years.
I can empathise with how Heath House pupils may feel in boarding being away from their families. I like to make sure all children and young people are happy, relaxed and enjoy themselves with plenty of activities. I love animals so help look after the Heath House rabbits and enjoy leading art and craft activities.
My name is Ronan (Residential Support Worker)
I have worked as a residential support worker at Heath House since January 2024. I am passionate about supporting and empowering young individuals within the Deaf community. With a wealth of experience gained from working in four different Deaf schools, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Deaf students. My journey has also taken me abroad, studying at renowned institutions such as Frontrunners and Gallaudet University, where I immersed myself in diverse cultures and enhanced my knowledge of Deaf education and identity.
My name is Grace (Residential Support Worker)

I am a keen sports person and have a passion for football, I like to encourage children to play sports and be healthy.
