Year 8 had a fantastic week on their Leavers' Residential in Yorkshire, making the most of a packed programme of activities and time spent together as they celebrate the final weeks of their Heath Mount journey! Our Class of 2026 took part in a brilliant tug-of-war challenge at @ampleforth_college_, tried out bouldering and padel, tackled the assault course and zip line at the North Yorkshire Water Park and caught some amazing waves during a surfing session with Dexters Surf School. There was also time to explore the historic city of York, enjoy the sunshine, and fit in a little shopping as well as the chance to relax and play games at our base, @queenethelburgas. For those feeling especially energetic, Mr Russell's Run Club proved a popular way to start each morning. This week they have been working on their samba drumming, street dancing and acting skills as part of their expressive arts programme - we can't wait to see the results tomorrow!

Inspired by the work of contemporary artist @joeegamble, our Year 6 artists were tasked with drawing the art room from their table viewpoint. Take a look at some of the brilliant responses. #creativearts #art #drawingskills #perspective

Year 2 enjoyed cooling off at their annual House Swimming Gala yesterday. The children stepped up for the first time to represent their house in a swimming competition, and they all performed brilliantly. Every child in Year 2 swam lengths in at least two different strokes, which is a fantastic achievement. We were incredibly impressed with the pupils' determination, confidence, and enthusiasm in the water. Congratulations to Woodhall House, who finished victorious and took home the house points! At the end, medals were awarded for individual race winners whilst those children who demonstrated excellent teamwork, support, and positivity throughout the gala were awarded a House Balloon! #housespirit #prepreplife #year2 #swimming #privateschool #hertford
