WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPH
The whole school photograph is being taken on Monday 12th May and children should be dressed in their best uniforms.
SUNSCREEN
As we are now in the Summer term and the weather is getting warmer, can you please ensure that your child is adequately protected by a high factor, 24 hour sunscreen when necessary. Parents are requested to ensure that their children come to school with sunhats to be worn when playing outside.

The weather is holding up nicely for our 'al fresco' music concert this Saturday evening, featuring the Bax Choir, the Chamber Choir and an array of instrumentalists. Italian style canapes and wine will be served, as you relax and enjoy the wonderful outdoor setting that Heath Mount affords. Don't forget to bring your rugs and MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR FOLDING CHAIRS. Tickets are available from Heath Mount Reception priced at £10 per Adult. Children are free of charge, but will require a ticket. No babes in arms or noisy toddlers please.
NEW CD – ‘LET THE CHILDREN SING!’
A reminder to you all that we are expecting the CD to arrive next week. Featuring the Bax and Chamber Choirs, plus two items sung by the entire Prep School, this promises to be a musical treat for us all. Many of you have already placed pre-orders, but if you are yet to do so, please e-mail your requirements to the school office. Single copies are £10, 5 copies are £45 and 10 copies are £90. CDs will be on display in the Reception area very soon.
DU MAURIER CAR DAY - SUNDAY 11 MAY 2.00pm - 5.00pm
We’ve got the cars, we’ve got the refreshments, we’ve got lots to keep you entertained, and we should even have fantastic weather… Now all we need is for you to come and enjoy the afternoon!
We have over forty display cars booked in, which should make a wonderful sight in front of the main school. We are very fortunate to have the support of a number of local car owners’ clubs and classic car enthusiasts from outside of school who are joining us for the afternoon. Over half of the cars are pre-1970, the earliest so far being a 1934 Rolls Royce first owned by the Earl of Yarborough. We should have a fine array of Porsches, Jaguars and MGs; a rare Fiat Dino, an impressive Lamborghini Gallardo, a classic 1958 948cc Morris Minor, and many, many more!
There is no charge for entry for exhibitors or visitors, so come along and enjoy what promises to be a great event. Delicious afternoon teas, choc-ices and ice-lollies will be on sale and pony rides on offer for smaller children. Children’s art competitions and quizzes should keep everyone busy. Come along and make your vote count for your favourite car in the exhibitor’s awards. We hope to see you there!
Ring Alison Wood on 01438 869333 if you haven’t registered your display car yet.
