A deliberately small school offering big opportunities, Heathfield prides itself on giving every student the diverse opportunities to discover their unique passions and talents and, accordingly, to develop the self-belief and confidence to succeed. Small class sizes and a 4:1 student to teacher ratio ensures that each student receives the best possible attention.

The school’s wide and diverse range of co-curricular subjects and activities evolve every year to accommodate new trends and interests. As well as running teams and clubs in all major sports, Heathfield also offers students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities including badminton, cricket, dance, fitness, football, gymnastics, polo, riding and trampolining. Well known for its prowess in the arts, Heathfield students enjoy participating in a wide range of drama and musical events from whole-school productions to live concerts at school and at local venues. Art students benefit from the school’s unique collaboration agreement with Parsons Paris, its creative partnership with the Falmouth School of Art, and its close relationship with the London College of Fashion.

Students have a strong and supportive network at Heathfield. Everyone is part of the house system, with heads of house responsible for students’ welfare. Offering day, part-time, weekly and full boarding in a 24/7 boarding environment gives students and families the ultimate in flexibility. Flexible days suit family life, whether day girls want to come to school for breakfast or for the beginning of school, leave after lessons or stay on for an evening or weekend activity they are involved in. Students are totally immersed in Heathfield’s warm and close knit community, a place where they create fantastic memories and make friends for life.

Head’s Philosophy
To empower students by encouraging exploration, creativity, curiosity and critical thinking to drive independence and to give students the room to be themselves and develop the skills to enable them to thrive. We create a sense of belonging by maintaining our close-knit community, a home from home, where happiness and achievement go hand in hand. Academically, Heathfield aims to engender an intellectual curiosity combined with self-discipline – a combination that leads our young women to success in so many areas.
