At Heathfield we encourage our students to aim high, with no ceiling on ambition. Similarly, the Governors of Heathfield are ambitious for our school. This is reflected in our decision to join a large charitable group of schools. As an active member of a wider network of charitable schools, we will be better equipped to meet the needs of our students now and into the future. The preservation of the distinctive ethos of Heathfield has been foremost in our thinking. In unanimously deciding to merge with Mill Hill Education Group, we can confidently look to the future as we continue to develop the high standards of education we are renowned for.

Mill Hill Education Group is a charitable collection of independent schools. Its aims of instilling values and inspiring minds have been a key focus since the founding of Mill Hill School in 1807. All schools share an educational philosophy centred on developing thoughtful and responsible students with a global outlook. School life combines academic rigour with a breadth of opportunities to develop young people who can flourish in an ever-changing world.

The charitable collection of schools within the Mill Hill Education Group spans from North London, Hertfordshire, and the South East to as far as Thailand. The values and ethos of the Group are highly compatible with ours at Heathfield School.

Heathfield becoming part of the Mill Hill Education Group marks an exciting new chapter in the evolution of our exceptional school. While our distinctive ethos and rich traditions remain firmly in place, this partnership opens up enhanced opportunities for our students, families, and staff through the broader Mill Hill network. Our founder, Eleanor Wyatt, was a visionary educationalist, and I am honoured to be part of this bold and forward-thinking step, benefiting both our school and the wider Heathfield community. Heathfield has a bright and exciting future ahead!”

The economic landscape for independent schools is undoubtedly challenging; many families are facing increased financial strain, and schools across the sector are experiencing considerable pressures. However, in times like these, the strength of a collaborative foundation such as the Mill Hill Education Group becomes even more critical. By bringing together schools with a shared educational ethos, we not only enhance the educational experience for our pupils but also create operational efficiencies that help secure the future of our schools. We are delighted to welcome Heathfield School into our Group, and I look forward to working together to ensure that we continue to provide outstanding education for generations to come.
