What Our Parents Say About Heath House

Heath House has truly become a second home for both of my children. Each morning, they eagerly anticipate meeting their teachers and friends. The school's nurturing environment fosters a strong sense of community, where children from across the school, as well as parents, form lasting friendships.
A lovely caring small Prep School in Blackheath. The children get endless attention from the dedicated staff in small classes. They are encouraged to be confident young people, kind, tolerant and considerate of their classmates, parents and everyone they have contact with.
Heath House is an extraordinary place to learn. My daughter and son have benefited enormously from the high academic standards, which provide and have provided a solid foundation from which their educational journey will continue.  Thank you, HH for everything.
