Your daughter will thrive in our exceptionally high-quality educational environment. While we develop girls holistically, we also have an enviable record of academic success.

We accurately predict each girl’s suitability for a wide range of senior schools and most girls go on to their preferred choice.

With tailored support and expert guidance, our girls consistently achieve academic success; 75% move on to top Grammar schools and Berkhamsted Girls.

Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do at Heatherton. Our warm and inclusive family community enables the girls to flourish and develop moral and social awareness.

Our Form Teacher system ensures the academic and personal development of each pupil is closely monitored. In addition, our House system creates a friendly environment where pupils of different ages can come together to support and celebrate one another.

Our community extends beyond the School itself, incorporating parents, neighbours and local friends. We support the local community and regularly donate to charities. We are committed to environmental/sustainable practices and regularly collaborate with the local council to improve our surrounding area.

We are committed to inspiring our pupils to dream big. Our small class sizes allow us to really see each child and focus on their individual needs and nurture their passions. The range of extra-curricular clubs on offer allow our pupils the breadth of choice to discover and fully explore their interests.

Our three core values lie at the heart of everything we do. We inspire pupils to Aim High with Integrity in their academic and extra-curricular pursuits, to Be Adventurous by stepping outside their comfort zones, and to Serve Others both in our community and beyond.

Encouraging curiosity and continuous growth, we develop well-rounded individuals who go on to share these values with the world.

As we are part of the Berkhamsted Schools Group, pupils can consider a progression to Berkhamsted Girls. Pupils benefit from staying in the group and having access to all facilities, and continued dedication to pastoral care.

At Heatherton, we know that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions that you will have to make about your daughter’s future. We prepare the girls at Heatherton for a diverse range of Senior Schools, including Grammar and Independent Schools.
