Admissions
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 Headmaster, Mr Tim O’Connell.
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.
Admission to Heywood Prep is open to all who meet our entry requirements, regardless of gender, race, religion, socio-economic or cultural background. Heywood Prep is pleased to accept applications for children to join in various age groups and maintains a partially selective policy for admissions. The school is, therefore, mixed ability by nature and in keeping with its aims to provide a balanced, well-rounded education.
