Heathfield’s move to a co-educational Sixth Form offers exciting benefits for all students, providing a rich academic and social experience. Our smaller A Level classes and the broad choice of subjects ensure personalised learning, while the inclusion of both girls and boys brings more diverse perspectives and collaboration across productions, clubs and student leadership. Students will gain invaluable experience in a mixed environment, equipping them with the confidence, skills and resilience to thrive in future co-educational settings.
Boys will be fully involved in all aspects of school life, including mixed sports, choirs, drama and musical productions and leadership opportunities. The transition will continue the Heathfield ethos of ‘small school, big opportunities’ with a more dynamic Sixth Form experience for everyone.
Opened in 2022, the purpose built Cadogan Sixth Form, offers excellent facilities including state-of-the-art classrooms and co-curricular spaces, alongside the supportive guidance of dedicated staff. The option to board provides a structured environment that fosters independence, wellbeing and strong friendships, enabling students to thrive academically and personally, while enjoying the full range of school opportunities.
The next Sixth Form Open Evening is
Tuesday 30 September, 6pm to 8pm
The benefits of being a boarder for Sixth Form are clear. Boarding encourages independence in both study and other aspects of life and is an excellent bridge between School and University. Staying at school avoids valuable time being wasted on commuting and being disorganised about work at home and thus ensures that you can manage to excel academically without sacrificing other activities and time spent with friends. Day girls integrate fully into the life of the Sixth Form and have the opportunity to stay over too.
