Northwood College and Heathfield merge

Post by Immortal Dreams »

I was just wondering what people thought about the NC and Heathfield merge. Only just heard about it - does anyone have more info?

Not our area, but a friend of mine had a DD at Heathfield until September when she moved to another school for sixth form. She mentioned the merger when we last met up - and was not exactly complimentary about it. I don't know whether that is a general feeling amongst Heathfield parents.

We visited Northwood but decided it would be too far for us. It seemed numbers have been going down in the schools so some consolidation was needed. We were told that Northwood now joined a large group of girls schools so it will have the financial backing to expand within its grounds and offer Heathfield parents an option to move.
