History

Heritage School, Cambridge was founded as a preparatory school in 2007 by Jason Fletcher (Headmaster) and Fiona Fletcher (Director of Studies). They started with 16 pupils and 6 members of staff subletting premises from Sancton Wood School at 19 Brookside. In 2010 swelling numbers necessitated expansion into 18 Brookside. In 2011 the school opened their Senior School and the school now holds an independent lease on 17-19 Brookside having undertaken considerable development work to the interior of the building and to the playground and carpark to the rear of the building.
