Heathside is a high achieving 11-18 co-educational converter academy with 7 forms of entry totalling 1255 students on roll, 202 of whom are in the sixth form. In 2019 91% of students achieved Grade 9-4 English and Mathematics; At A level 70% of students gained A*/B and our 3 year Alps T score was 3.44. The school's value added has risen year on year together with its GCSE average point score. Although we are pleased with this progress, which places us in the top 35% of schools nationally, (P8 0.39) we think we can do even better and our aim is to be one of the highest achieving schools not just in Surrey but nationally.  

Our staff are extremely dedicated. Many began their teaching careers at Heathside and have grown and developed into both pastoral and curriculum leaders.  CPD is valued and tailored to meeting the needs of our staff and improving teaching and learning. We have a small team of Lead Practitioners, who work with the Assistant Principal, CPD, to offer a wide-ranging training programme to staff. 

Our students predominately come from Weybridge and travel to school by foot, bicycle or train, with the furthest catchment area distance being 1.6 miles from the school. Year on year the school is heavily over-subscribed. The prior attainment of students at KS2 is above the National average and they make very good progress at expected and more than expected measures. Like all schools though, we still feel that there is more that we could be doing to achieve even better outcomes.

We are a self- evaluating school and regularly look to see what we can do better to improve all areas of provision.  We were last graded as good by Ofsted in March 2018 so please do read the report which can also be found on this website. We aim to provide an enriching curriculum to our students, both within and outside the classroom and the range of opportunities we provide in House activities, sport, music, drama, technology and employability skills ensures that students move on to their next step as confident, resilient well-rounded individuals. 

The School is at an exciting phase of development, having become a converter Academy in September 2015 and a single multi-academy under the ElmWey Learning Trust. With the support of Surrey County Council the Academy is currently in the process of setting up a 6 form entry free school in 2021. This is to fulfil a basic need for more school places within Elmbridge, where pupil numbers are set to rise markedly by this point in time.
