Hayward’s Heath

Hi all,

We have one young daughter as are thinking of moving from South London to Hayward’s Heath. Like the general area although aware the town centre isn’t the best but it’s an ok commute to London for work, lots of lovely green areas nearby and feels a bit less crowded. Oh also we can actually afford a house there which is important! Been trying to look into education, it seems like there are quite a few good primary schools but only one good secondary school which I’m worried we’d be out of catchment for as we are likely to live near the station. Can anyone give any further info on your experiences/knowledge of secondary education in this area? It’s really daunting to move to a new area and feel like you’re making a decision that will affect your child’s future so much! Any help or info very gratefully received, thank you.

Hi, there are quite a few good secondary schools in HH and surrounding areas. Warden Park and Oathall are both good. There's also Chailey which takes a lot of pupils from out of catchment so you would stand a good chance if you wanted a place there. St Paul's in burgess hill is also good if you happen to be Catholic.

I have one in Chailey and DD starts there in September. I like it because it's small and rural.
