Welcome to Heathcote Preparatory School and Nursery’s website. I am thrilled that you have taken time to consider our lovely school for your family and offer you a warm welcome. Heathcote is a small family Prep school in the heart of Danbury village, Essex. We nurture, enrich, challenge, engage and educate pupils from 2-11 years of age. Our pupils are always at the forefront of our educational provision and we strive to put their needs first ensuring that excellence is at the heart of all we do.

At Heathcote School, we celebrate the whole child whether that be through excellent academic provision (ISI, 2019) or by ensuring that our children are offered a wide range of co-curricular opportunities from Tae Kwando to Chess Club. We have monthly Heathcote values and our PSHRE education celebrates these: respect, positivity, humility, resilience, aspiration to name but a few. We endeavour to help support you to ensure that your child is best prepared for their future and becomes everything that they can, whilst in a supportive and nurturing environment. Our pupils are confident and capable and we are so proud of all they achieve.

Childhood is such a precious but short period of our lives and we want our pupils to be kept in our magical Heathcote bubble for as long as possible. Whilst we ensure our pupils are best-prepared for their future, we celebrate and protect their youth and individuality. At Heathcote, the individual matters.  I look forward to welcoming you and your family to a parent interview, tour or pupil assessment day.  Throughout lockdown we progressed our pupils’ learning through live video lessons, and we are very happy that our school grounds are now open to our pupils.  We are happy and proud to showcase our pupils, staff and school and can arrange socially distanced tours to do this.

Please contact us to book a tour or to find out more information.
