Heartwood House
Harrow, Harrow, Greater London · HA1 2BW
Heartwood House is one of the smaller independent schools in Harrow, with around 60 pupils across the 11-16 age range and a co-educational, non-denominational intake. Its modest size points to an intimate setting where pupils are likely to be well known to staff. Led by Mrs Cathy Haysom, the school takes pupils at 11 and does not offer boarding. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school "sound" overall, with personal development also rated "sound"; however, its most recent compliance judgement was not met, which is something families will want to explore directly with the school.

Teaching & academics
Published results sit well below national benchmarks: the school records an Attainment 8 score of 5.5 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils gain grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. These figures should be weighed against the school's very small cohort, where individual circumstances can heavily skew the data. Prospective parents are advised to ask the school directly about how it supports each pupil's progress.
