Heathfield offers day, weekly and full boarding places. An Introduction to Boarding programme offers day students the opportunity to board on a part time basis by spending two or three nights per week at school. This can be for a short trial period of a couple of weeks or over a number of terms, or longer. The school is intentionally small. Our 230 pupils are all known and understood as individuals. They are supported, encouraged and challenged by an outstanding team of academic, pastoral and co-curricular staff. Achievement, in its many guises, is celebrated and the contribution of every girl is recognised and appreciated. Small class sizes, excellent facilities, a teacher-pupil ratio of 1 : 4 and personalised learning plans enable us to provide an unrivalled level of individual support. It is no surprise that Heathfield is highly ranked for adding value to a student’s future prospects.

A happy girl is a happy mummy!”
