The academic life of a school is not just the learning that takes place in class but the breadth and depth of activities both in and out of the classroom. Heathfield is renowned for its strong and vibrant creative and dramatic tradition. What is not so well known is that we are an academically ambitious and rigorous school where we are preparing our pupils for careers which have not yet been discovered. Therefore it is vital that our curriculum is skill based as well as ensuring that every girl has the relevant academic qualifications to progress onwards to her future goals.
