About the School

Heathfield Community College serves the local community from a pleasant 26 acre site on the edge of Heathfield. Our size offers us many advantages: we have excellent facilities, allowing us to offer a wide and varied range of academic and vocational courses at all levels. The Heathfield campus has been steadily improved in recent years. We have both a Library and a dedicated Sixth Form Learning Resource Centre, we also enjoy large open space and a floodlit all-weather astro-turf pitch. A rolling programme of refurbishment means we continue to upgrade and improve our site and facilities including Science rooms, Music Technology and ICT facilities, including our very own Apple-esque Genius Bar. There is also a fitness centre and multi-use games areas.

Heathfield Community College offers all students:

  • A well-planned, broad and balanced curriculum
  • A record of excellent examination results
  • Well qualified specialist staff combining innovative and traditional methods in the classroom
  • A secure, supportive, encouraging and happy environment
  • A wide range of extra-curricular and residential activities.
