About Heath House Preparatory School
Heath House Preparatory School is a beacon of educational excellence nestled in the vibrant heart of London, combining a rich tradition of academic excellence with a nurturing ethos and a global outlook. The school offers places from Pre-Nursery (after 3rd birthday) through to Year 6, with priority given to siblings, children of former pupils, staff children, and local families. Admission involves an informal parental visit and meeting with the Headteacher, with informal assessments in English, Mathematics, and Non-Verbal Reasoning for children aged seven and above. The school encourages continuity from Kindergarten through Year 6 and does not prepare children for entry to other preparatory schools. The school has a maximum of 19 places per class intake.
