• Heartwood House is small scale, supportive and therapeutic in outlook, with wellbeing, resilience and confidence for the next step carrying as much weight as qualifications.

• Will suit families seeking a small specialist senior setting where wellbeing, resilience and next-step readiness matter as much as formal qualifications.

Admissions at Heartwood House are highly individual rather than governed by blanket criteria, with the real question being whether the provision matches the young person's needs and next-step goals. This is less like a conventional independent-school sale and more like a careful suitability conversation.

Scholarships do not sit at the centre of the proposition. Families choose Heartwood House for its therapeutic outlook, individual support and readiness for the next stage rather than for any conventional awards culture.

Published information makes most sense when read through the school's wellbeing and therapeutic emphasis, rather than through conventional league-table style signals. Families will want detailed answers on curriculum, mentoring, transitions and how the provision supports students who have not thrived elsewhere.
