Heathfield School
School summary
Founded in 1899, Heathfield is a small Church of England girls' school in Ascot, opening its sixth form to boys. With roughly 200 pupils and an unusually low pupil-to-teacher ratio of around four to one, it offers a level of individual attention that larger schools struggle to match. Boarding sits at the heart of school life, and the ISI judged it excellent for both education and personal development at its most recent inspection. A notably high proportion of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a community accustomed to teaching girls of varied learning needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, nurturing girls' boarding school where the tiny class sizes translate into genuinely strong results. Day and boarding fees are substantial, though means-tested bursaries of up to 100 per cent widen access.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
