Exciting News! We have been named as one of 6 finalists for Sporting Achievement in the prestigious Independent Schools of The Year Awards. This recognition is testament to our inspirational Sports Department who have poured so much passion, innovation and expertise into games lessons, scholarship sessions and our unique PE programme. It follows our recent achievement at The Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Awards, where we won the award for the Prep School 'Most Passionate About Sport'. Our new review in the Tatler Schools Guide 2026 also references our 'serious sporting success.' Director of Sport, Mr Elliott, will be joining the other nominees at the awards ceremony being held on Tuesday, 14th October in London. Good luck! @independentschoolparent #passionateaboutsport #schoolsport #hertfordshireschools #privateschool #independentschool #education #isotyawards
We are thrilled to have been named as one of the top Prep Schools in the South East in the Tatler Schools Guide 2026. Our @tatlerschools review (on page 99) describes the school as a 'gorgeous co-ed', highlighting our 'adventurous attitude', 'serious sporting success' and creativity. Asked why they chose the school, a parent replied: "The combination of academic ambition, pastoral care and the sheer joy of childhood that Heath Mount offers was irresistible. It's a school that takes learning seriously but never at the expense of happiness." We couldn't have put it better ourselves! Want to find out more? We would be delighted to welcome prospective families to our whole school OPEN MORNING on Thursday, 25th September, 9-11am.

After a very wet start to the academic year, the sun broke free in time for playtime! It has been lovely seeing our new pupils settling in and making friends, with our class buddies doing a great job of making it a happy day. Teachers have also been on hand to settle any nerves and play fun games to help everyone get to know one another. Of course, it's not just a big day for the children but our parents, too - especially in the Pre-Prep where many pupils are making their first steps of independence. Our wonderful receptionist Mrs Adams has been ready to provide support, handing out little care pouches for any adults feeling emotional today. #pastoralcare #heathmountfamily #earlyyears #nursery #privateschool
