Heathfield Knoll School
Kidderminster, Worcestershire, West Midlands · DY10 3QE
Heathfield Knoll is a small independent school in Kidderminster, with around 195 pupils spanning the early years right through to sixth form. Its compact size shows in an unusually generous staffing level, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school 'good' overall, with personal development judged 'excellent' and all compliance standards met. The sixth form is tiny, with just 11 pupils, which gives a sense of the close, family-scale community here. Families looking for individual attention and pastoral care in a non-selective independent setting may find it a good fit.
