Values and Vision
The School’s motto is, “The Merit of One is the Honour of All”. The students at Heathfield School are encouraged to fulfil their goals, to have confidence and to be respectful of others. The girls are taught that they are equals in the world and can achieve anything they set their mind to. Parents should be a part of their children’s academic life. The girls will make friends for life and become a part of the local community.
Heathfield is a dynamic and busy day, weekly and full boarding community where girls thrive. We provide an environment where a girl’s childhood will be happy and secure; where every girl discovers her own unique passions and talents and accordingly, develops the confidence and self-belief to enable her to succeed.
In our latest Inspection, the school achieved ‘Excellent in all categories’. The inspectors found that: ‘the overall achievement of the pupils is excellent and represents the successful fulfilment of the school’s ambitious aims’. They also stated that ‘pupils are happy, articulate and confident’ and that ‘pupils grow into young people who make a difference to the world and live their lives boldly’.
Small class sizes and a teacher/pupil ratio of an average teacher / pupil ratio of 5:1 to ensure all pupils receive engaging teaching and individual attention. Our diverse range of co-curricular subjects and activities evolve every year to accommodate new trends and interests. This ‘have a go’ attitude is infectious and filters down from the upper year groups, which means that girls have the confidence to take risks. Pupils learn where their strengths and challenges lay and are enabled to improve on both.
Well-known for our prowess in the Arts, students enjoy participating in the wide range of Drama and Musical events that take place each term. Heathfield is the only school in the UK to benefit from a Creative Partnership with Falmouth School of Art and a unique collaboration with Parsons, Paris. Students also benefit from the close relationship with the world-famous London College of Fashion, and Heathfield’s biennial Fashion Show is now legendary.
The construction of our new Sixth Form Centre is now complete, facilitating our new Sixth Form programme which includes Mentorship, Leadership and Presentation skills.
