WELCOME TO HEYWORTH
A big welcome to Heyworth, and Dollar Academy.
We are delighted to have you in Heyworth House for the coming session.
We hope that you will enjoy your time with us, and that you will make the most of all that Dollar has to offer. You’re not expected to read and learn everything straight away, but we think that this booklet will give you all the information you are likely to need.
Of course – if you’re in doubt about anything, the best thing to do is to ask.
We’re a very friendly house, in a friendly school, as you will soon discover, and everybody is happy to help. We look forward to watching you thrive at Dollar Academy and going on to great successes.
Best wishes for a fantastic 2025/26 school year!
Mr Oliver and Miss Scott | Houseparents
Heyworth provides excellent accommodation for up to 25 girls at Dollar Academy. Each year we welcome girls from all corners of the world. We aim to provide a stimulating, safe and supportive environment to ensure that you make the most of your time here. If you are new to the boarding house, on your arrival we will assign you a ‘buddy’ who will help you settle in, look after you and answer any questions you may have. Heyworth is a very welcoming and inclusive community and we are very happy to have you here with us.
