Heathfield has a well-deserved reputation for being an exceptionally happy, academic school with a family ethos and outstanding pastoral care. We offer a broad, modern curriculum including triple science, Mandarin, French, Spanish and Latin leading to IGCSE, GCSE and A Level. A wide range of opportunities enables our girls to excel and fulfil their potential. Our committed, supportive teachers and excellent resources help ensure that our girls achieve and develop their talents and skills, whether in academic matters or in sport, all the arts, enterprise education and leadership development, or anything else they wish to do. Coupled with our traditional values, including working hard for themselves and others, and a great capacity to enjoy themselves, our girls fulfil their potential and move on to university rightly confident in their futures.
A recent building program has greatly enhanced the learning and sporting environment for the whole school. The school boasts a purpose-built Sixth Form centre and Learning Resources Centre, swimming school, sports hall and fitness suite. We have three fully equipped ICT suites, including a digital language lab, spacious classrooms and modern, well-equipped Science labs. Our outdoor facilities include tennis courts and lacrosse pitches alongside designated play areas and an ecological area for outdoor learning. The Junior School has its own dedicated library, ICT suite, Art room, Science classroom and gym.
Quotes from the recent Independent Schools’ Inspectorate inspection (October 2010) include “The overall quality of the pupils’ learning and achievement is excellent.” “Relationships throughout the school between staff and pupils and between pupils themselves are outstanding” “The overall effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage is outstanding.”
