Admissions new
Joining Heywood Prep follows a clear and simple admissions process. We have an open door policy, inviting prospective parents to contact us at any time throughout the year to arrange a visit to the school to meet the Headmistress, Rebecca Mitchell.
We also hold a number of Open Days and events throughout the year providing further opportunities for prospective parents to see Heywood Prep in action.
We welcome children who would flourish at Heywood Prep and those that would make the most of all the opportunities available to them. The school is, therefore, mixed ability by nature and in keeping with its aims to provide a balanced, well-rounded education.
