Heathside School is a co-educational secondary school for students aged 11–18 situated in Brooklands Lane, Weybridge, Surrey, England. The Executive Principal is Anne Cullum.[1]

The school used to be a Foundation Community Technology College in affiliation with the Diocese of Guildford. The school is also affiliated with the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.[2] Academically, the school is often in the top 20% of the country[citation needed] with regular successful admissions into top universities including the University of Oxford and Cambridge.[citation needed]
