Children can join Pre-Nursery from the term they turn three. Entry points include Nursery, Reception, and Year 1 upwards. Pupils may be registered from birth, and early registration is encouraged due to high demand.

No, Heath Mount is not academically selective. However, children joining from Year 1 upwards complete informal assessments in English and Maths during a taster day to ensure they can access the curriculum.

The admissions process includes visiting the school for a tour and meeting with the headmaster, registering with a £120 fee per child, attending a taster day, and then paying a £1,200 deposit per child (refunded when your child leaves Heath Mount) once you have confirmed that you would like your child/children to join the school. Our Registrar will happily guide you through every step of the admissions process.
