Overview
Overview
Heathfield School's senior community is organised around small classes, close tutor support and a choice of day or boarding life for girls aged 11 to 18. Day, part-time, weekly and full-boarding places share the same setting, while the Sixth Form is due to become co-educational in September 2026. The Forms I to III route leads into GCSE and A level study.
Sixth Form students can choose from 24 A level subjects and add a broader pathway such as an EPQ, an extended essay, Maths for Scientists or a massive open online course. Academic breadth, PSHE and sport sit alongside the examination route. The Cadogan Sixth Form Centre, opened in 2022, provides classrooms and co-curricular spaces, while the Heathfield Leadership Award includes mentoring younger pupils.
Drama, music, dance, LAMDA, sport, equestrian activities and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award give the wider community a strong arts, activity and residential character. Boarding and day students participate together, so the senior experience is shaped as much by the shared community as by the choice of subjects.
Applications are direct. At 11+, registered candidates take an online CEM assessment in numeracy, literacy and non-verbal ability and meet the Head; Year 9 applicants are assessed and interviewed in small groups. Sixth Form applicants visit for interview, with offers conditional on examination results, interview performance and a school reference. Overseas applicants have separate assessment, language-testing and visa arrangements.
