What The Good Schools Guide says..
Class sizes are small at no more than 16 – one reason parents cite for choosing the school – so that no-one is overlooked and children benefit from specialist teachers right through the prep school. Much is made of sport at Heywood. For a small school on a small site, the breadth and depth of sport on offer is remarkable. Undaunted by its own unavoidable space constraints, the school begs, borrows (but probably doesn’t steal) local facilities….

What The Good Schools Guide says
Headmistress
Since January 2024, Tim O'Connell, previously deputy head. He has over a decade of leadership experience, including as head of the prep at Saint Felix School in Suffolk, before coming here in 2018.
Entrance
From the age of 2 into the nursery, from where it often seems very hard to move on to another school. Heywood is resolutely non-selective at any stage, even the commoner points of reception and year 3 - ‘we welcome children who would flourish and make the most of a Heywood education’ – but the school will want to see reports from previous schools, if applicable.
