Please AVOID at all costs!

I am mystified by the one-star rating from someone from the United States for Heathside Preparatory…read moreSchool. I too am from the United States and I have nothing but admiration for the school where my four nieces and nephews have been blessed with amazing educations. IN fact, I have been so impressed that over the years I recommended it to other Americans moving to London for work. Two couples who have had their children there (family of five and four) were very happy. In fact, one family left London to return to the US and missed the school so much that they returned to UK. All of those children are grown now and are in excellent schools, two of them at Westminster. By the way, all but two of the eight children I personally know are all...wait for it...BOYS. In addition, I have had the true pleasure of watching several Heathside Preparatory School musical concerts over the years and seen those children perform admirably. All are supported so beautifully by the teachers that you can see the children's confidence emerge more and more as they play solo or in concert. It is very moving.

The teaching standard is impeccable, with each department giving its all to every student. The staff are dedicated, professional, loving and are 75% responsible for the great success the school has had. The site itself is tremendously maintained; with new additions every year ranging from a new canteen, to a new media centre and consistent refurbishments to departments that require it. The resources are exceptional. Being a science and technology school, the ICT facilities are fantastic and are constantly growing - with a great technical support team lead by Ian Miller, who is always introducing more innovative and interactive ways to make the school's IT resources excel. The school is one of the top in the Borough, with outstanding A Level and GCSE pass rates that seem only to climb every year. A wonderful place to learn, grow and become an individual.

My niece attends this school and she loves it. I visit the school when I come to collect her and…read moreI've attended a few of the school events It is a small school, because there is one class per year. I think smaller schools are much better for children's educational and personal development. There is a really good relationship between the school staff and the parents. The teachers really care about the children's education and development and it is just a thriving school community. Princess Diana actually came to the school in 1983 to open an new wing of the school that had been recently built, so this school has got interesting history too!

The teachers are good and have a wealth of knowledge to impart to the children. The lunches are not that bad either as they try to have a variety of meals to choose from (which is quite surprising for school dinners!!) The head teacher of the school really makes a difference to the whole outlook of the school which makes it a great environment for the children.
