It's been an egg-citing few days in Nursery as we watched our six fluffy chicks hatch in the incubator! Their arrival sparked a conversation on the difference between hens and cockerels and inspired some lovely artwork and dough modelling. Well done to Nursery for being so gentle and caring with the chicks. #nursery #privatenursery #hertford

The anticipation has started to build for our Charity Colour Run on Saturday, June 13th. To mark tickets going on sale, Mr Naylor and Mrs Cope decided to dial up the excitement... After running a fun quiz in assembly, our fearless duo gave the winning pupils free rein to coat them in paint powder at morning break and - as you can see - they didn't hold back!! We can't wait to see everyone covered in rainbow shades as we take on our charity challenge in the glorious grounds of the Woodhall Estate. We'll be raising money for our Zambian education partners including Twende Education For All which provides play therapy and in-hospital learning for children undergoing treatment for cancer and sickle cell anaemia. #charityandcommunity #colourrun #letsdoittogether

Yesterday, we were able to bring together our three @iapsuk teams who achieved two golds and a silver at this year's national netball finals. Headmaster, Mr Gillam, congratulated the girls on achieving the best netball results in the school's history, and paid tribute to coaches Sophie Meister and Katie Brooking. Over the past three years, Heath Mount School have not only qualified for every single national IAPS netball final in every age group, but achieved 5 national titles, 2 silvers and 1 bronze. It's a phenomenal record, and recognises how far our netball coaching programme has developed under the leadership of Miss Meister. Despite the accolades, Miss Meister reminded the girls that is is the friendships they have built that are what count the most. #sportingexcellence #netballfamily #passionforsport #friendship #heathmountfamily #teamworkmakesthedreamwork @schoolsshow @goodschoolsguide @tatlerschools

Heath Mount teachers are known for going the extra mile when it comes to bringing learning to life, and Ms Godman is no exception. Our inspirational Head of Latin spent her holiday making replica versions of a Roman 'groma', a surveying tool that helped the Romans mark out straight roads. This morning, Ms Godman distributed togas (for added authenticity!) and showed her Year Latin 6 students how to count out 'pedes' (heel to toe steps) and a 'passus' (pace). After a demonstration in how to use the groma, the children were challenged to mark out a straight road of 20 passus long and an atrium of 50 pedes per side. Year 6 quickly realised that the groma wasn't an ideal tool for windy conditions, but they had great fun working in their teams as Roman surveyors! Latin remains a hugely popular language choice for many of our pupils in Year 6 and above. Want to learn more about our broad and exciting curriculum? Prospective families are warmly invited to join us at our upcoming Open Morning on Friday, 8th May or to book a private tour with the Headmaster.
