About The Heathland School

The Heathland School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 1,160 applications for just 265 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.38. Of those, 354 families put it as their first preference, and 224 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests parents see real value here.
