Heathfield’s Sixth Form is going co-educational in September 2026.

Heathfield’s move to a co-educational Sixth Form offers exciting benefits for all students, providing a rich academic and social experience. As one of the leading Sixth Forms in Berkshire, 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.
