What Heritage Parents Say
“The school has really put a lot of thought into the purpose of an education and how best to deliver it. You can see these convictions in action everywhere – from the curriculum and teaching methods to the policies and atmosphere. Our children are getting an education that’s warm, purposeful and deeply enriching.”
Infant School Parent
“Heritage School was a significant factor in our decision to remain in Cambridge to raise our kids. What primarily set s it apart is a philosophy of childhood and education that is unlike any other school that we are aware of. Based on our experience so far we could not recommend it more.”
Infant School Parent
“We couldn’t be happier with Heritage School. The teachers and staff are absolutely fantastic, the curriculum is grounded in traditional but effective techniques, and the atmosphere in the small class sizes is healthy and inclusive. We also love the fact that although technology is taught, it is not relied upon, and the school does everything it can to prevent kids being addicted to phones and tablets.”
Infant School Parent
“Heritage was an easy choice for us when we saw how compassionate and caring the staff were towards their pupils. We continue to be amazed how much our children are flourishing in this enriching and deeply engaging environment.”
Junior School Parent
“We couldn’t be happier with our choice to enrol our son at Heritage School. From the very beginning, the welcoming atmosphere made it incredibly easy for him to settle in. The staff were supportive, patient and attentive to his individual needs, which helped him adjust quickly. We’re grateful to be part of such a wonderful school where he feels happy, confident, and eager to go every day.”
Junior School Parent
“Our two chidlren have both thrived at Heritage School since joining nearly three years ago – academically, spiritually, morally and in maturity. We (and they) especially appreciate the effort the school puts into enrichment activities and other avenues to instil a more rounded approach to learning whilst maintaining excellent core teaching.”
Junior School Parent
“The school is extremely well organised, inclusive and our children are absolutely thriving.”
Junior School Parent
“We have been part of the Heritage family for over 8 years and could not imagine a better place for our children. A friendly and caring environment where children have the room to find their academic and extra-curricular interests.”
Senior School Parent
“As parents, it’s reassuring to see our children excelling academically, growing socially, and developing a deep appreciation for nature – all while genuinely enjoying their time at school. The school has played a pivotal role in shaping our children’s love for learning, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
Senior School Parent
“Heritage is a fantastic school! I couldn’t recommend it enough. Small class sizes, excellent teaching and supportive pastoral care. An environment which gives any parent peace of mind for those important educational years during secondary school.”
Senior School Parent
“Our son has been at Heritage since Lower [Reception]. We really appreciate that the school fosters a love of learning, for books, for History and for nature. They allow children to be children and to grow in their true identity.”

What Educators Say
“In adopting many principles of a leading female Victorian educationalist Heritage School is going back to the future. Its educational philosophy provides a brilliant preparation for modern life whilst utilising all that we can learn from the past.”
Martin StephenAuthor and Former Head of The Perse
“They teach their pupils to think, appreciate, imagine and wonder in a profound manner. It is the kind of education needed more than ever in this fast and furious world. Somehow they have clothed the intellectual rigour in gentleness so the children are serene, curious and happily stimulated rather than pushed, anxious and stressed. The education offered by Heritage School seems to me to be the opposite of the shallow, frenetic, tech-heavy fare meted out in so many other schools. The school is a true gem and, when we realise the neurological damage which digital learning is doing to our children, I believe the Heritage methodology will become the norm rather than the outlier.”
Sophie WinklemanActress and Campaigner for Screen Free Schools
“Thank you so much for allowing me to visit your remarkable school yesterday. It was such a privilege and brought all I had read in books and online to life in a way I could not have foreseen. [We] are incredibly impressed by the teachers, students, and philosophy at Heritage… we think Heritage has much to teach the education sector about how to pursue and achieve a richer and more enlightened goal”.

“The calm and caring atmosphere is apparent the moment you enter the school and see pupils going about their day with focus and passion. I got a real sense of how teachers encourage both intellectual and spiritual development, something that is so important given the world today.”
