Heathfield St Mary's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heathfield St Mary's is an exclusive girls' private school in Ascot, Berkshire. Previously known as Heathfield School, the establishment is in the process of merging with St Mary's School, Wantage at the Heathfield site in Ascot. Heathfield St Mary’s draws on the strengths of both schools.
It is a full-boarding school for girls from 11-18 years. Fees are around £20,000 a year. Christian values are central to the school.
The school's grounds cover 36 acres situated in Ascot, providing easy access to London, major airports, the M3 and M4 motorways as well as the surrounding countryside.
It provides an environment which encourages academic success and prepares girls for the realities of the outside world[citation needed].
The school is equipped with teaching, sporting and leisure facilities. Following the merger of Heathfield School and St Mary’s Wantage in 2006, a development plan was launched which will deliver new facilities. Phase one of redevelopment, enlargening of the main Library, has already started. Small classes and a focus on individual learning help to maintain excellent academic standards.
