The school has an annual Christmas Carol Concert, which involves pupils from all years, staff and members of the community.

"The Space" is a 6th form facility based on the Heathfield School site offering a performing arts diploma.

Somerset County Council considered Kingsmead School for the development but chose Heathfield as it "was a better option in terms of pupils travelling to the base".

In 2023, The Board Of Governor's started the process of turning Heathfield into an academy under the Cabot Learning Federation, this conversion will take full affect as of September 2023 and will mean that there are no Local Authority schools in Somerset.

Cafe Paramo allows pupils at the school learn business techniques by selling premium coffee and other merchandise.

Through Cafe Paramo, the school has links to the Caxarumi co-operative in Ecuador and the Valdesian region of the Dominican Republic.

As of 2023, Cafe Paramo is very unheard of at Heathfield as the member of staff who ran it- Wayne Davies- has now left teaching.
