Heath House Preparatory School

About Heath House Preparatory School Established in 1993, Heath House is a co-educational independent preparatory school for children aged between three and eleven. Heath House is a small, private and friendly school where children are happy to learn in a stimulating environment. The school has a strong child-centred approach with an environment designed to encourage every child, of all ages and abilities, to achieve their maximum potential. Set in the heart of Blackheath Village, SE3, the school has three annexes to its main building in Wemyss Road - Tranquil Hall, the original village school building (1851), The Old Library in Blackheath Grove and further afield, 'Aux Mottaux' in Villars, Switzerland. Our school day is busy where children feel a sense of excitement and achievement – a fast structured pace giving a sense of urgency in their quest for excellence. The school timetable encourages children to work hard in the mornings and then after lunch, children are very active and take part in sporting and creative activities. Trips, educational visits and workshops are wide-ranging and packed into an activity-filled academic year. The school also has a busy and diverse Extra-Curricular programme, with daily Extra-Curricular Clubs and a variety of residential trips for Heath House pupils. At Heath House, we have an excellent academic record at 11+ entry to leading independent and grammar secondary schools. Please view our Leavers Destinations page for further information. Class sizes are kept as small as possible to enable maximum attention for each child and greater pupil participation. The maximum class size is 18.
