Heathfield School Information

Heathfield School is a leading boarding and day school, currently for girls aged 11 to 18, set within 36 acres of beautiful grounds in Ascot. Ideally located with easy access to London, major airports, the M3 and M4 motorways and the surrounding countryside, Heathfield offers both convenience and an exceptional learning environment. Founded in 1899, Heathfield is a school where every student is truly known and valued. Educational research consistently highlights the importance of strong relationships in enabling academic success, and this is reflected in the school’s renowned pastoral care. Alongside this supportive environment, students are encouraged to pursue ambitious and diverse aspirations. Recent leavers have secured places at leading institutions including Oxford (Medicine), Central Saint Martins (Art), University College London (Mathematics), and a range of Russell Group universities such as Durham, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Warwick. Looking ahead, Heathfield is entering an exciting new chapter. The school will become co-educational in the Sixth Form from September 2026, followed by the introduction of co-education in Year 7 from September 2027, broadening opportunities while maintaining the school’s distinctive ethos and strong sense of community. Our state-of-the-art STEM facility, opened by Sir Robert Winston, inspires the next generation of innovators. Students benefit from outstanding facilities, including a dedicated Sixth Form Centre, 25m heated indoor swimming pool, performing arts theatre, digital recording studio, extensive sports grounds with lacrosse pitches and tennis/netball courts, a cross-country track, sports hall, dance studio and fitness suite. Heathfield provides a vibrant and supportive environment where students develop confidence, build lasting friendships and create memories that stay with them for life.
