Inspection Reports

Heathfield House School is delighted to announce the result of its recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, which took place from Tuesday 14th October until Thursday 16th October 2025. The school was inspected under ISI’s Framework 2023.  We are proud that Heathfield House School met all the Independent Schools Standards. 

While the inspectors were visiting the school, it was lovely to hear positive informal feedback from them each day about our school and community. 

The inspection is a rigorous review of all aspects of school life including leadership, teaching, pastoral care and safeguarding.
