The 11+ examinations, a significant milestone, are customarily undertaken at the conclusion of the Autumn term in Year 6. This phase follows a comprehensive support program orchestrated by Heathside. Our holistic approach involves early morning classes, enriching holiday sessions, and in-depth guidance for parents. This meticulous framework empowers pupils, fostering their readiness for the 11+ exams. Heathside’s distinguished reputation as an instrumental partner in 11+ success and adeptly guiding families towards finding the right educational fit for their child stands as a testament to our commitment.
For children preparing for 13+ exams, Heathside offers a unique journey. Students continue their educational journey at Heathside until the culmination of Year 8. This extension of time empowers them with two additional years to mature, discover their passions, and cultivate interests.
At Heathside, we appreciate the diverse needs of families seeking alternative pathways to secondary education. For those who prefer not to partake in competitive school entrance exams, we offer a preferential route through our esteemed Partnership School, Eaton Square Senior. As a member of the esteemed Dukes Education family, Eaton Square Senior extends Heathside’s legacy from the end of Year 8 through GCSE and A level studies. Students continue to benefit from the nurturing academic challenges and exceptional pastoral care they’ve cherished during their time at Heathside.
At Heathside School Hampstead, we believe in offering diverse pathways to success, tailored to each child’s individual journey. Whether through 11+, 13+, or the collaborative partnership with Eaton Square Senior, our commitment remains steadfast in shaping well-rounded individuals prepared to embrace their future with confidence.

Heathside School Hampstead is part of the Dukes Education family of schools and educators, brought together by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life.
We create clusters of nurseries and schools in village locations to ensure that families can enjoy the option of an all-through education journey with Dukes Education within their local area.
As students prepare to transition from prep school to senior school at Year 7, our guaranteed entry policy offers a seamless progression within the Dukes family of senior schools, subject only to the availability of a place and a child’s ability to thrive in the ethos and curriculum, and without the need to sit traditional school entrance exams such as the 11+.
Dukes Education supports each child’s journey to senior school, working with families to find the right school; one that matches their unique strengths and aspirations.
Our commitment to providing a guaranteed place at a Dukes Education senior school allows students to focus on their personal and academic development instead of spending precious time preparing for school entrance exams and the added pressure that entails.
For families applying to selective senior schools, our prep schools provide thorough guidance, tailored 11+ exam preparation and exceptional pastoral support to ensure that every student is ready to perform at their best.
This approach ensures a confident and smooth transition to senior school for all children, nurturing lifelong learners within the supportive framework of Dukes Education.
If a family decides their child will not sit the 11+ entrance test, we are usually able to confirm acceptance to a Dukes senior school in Year 5. Early acceptance offers families peace of mind, allowing children to enjoy their final years at prep school and focus on a positive transition to senior school.
