Hearthwood School, with green roofs and pupils arriving on foot

Hearthwood School

A remarkable education, rooted in childhood

An independent school for up to 800 pupils at the centre of the village, a short walk or cycle from every home. High academic ambition, with sport, music, outdoor learning and character woven into every day.

A walk, not a school run. Children arrive on foot or by bike, and the day starts with fresh air.

Woods and meadows as classrooms. Outdoor learning, sport and forest school on the doorstep.

Friends for life, next door. Classmates are neighbours, so friendships carry on long after the bell, outside and off screens.

The village

Everything they need, within a bike ride

Homes in the woods, the school a short walk away and a club on the lake. Cars stay at the edge, so children walk and cycle everywhere, and they are never far from home.
