Huge congratulations to Charlie who is the new @iapsuk u11 50m butterfly champion and broke the current record, and to Billy who won silver in the u12 breaststroke, just 0.01 seconds off gold! We're so proud of all of our finalists who represented Heath Mount in the Olympic pool at yesterday's national IAPS swimming finals, their commitment has been truly remarkable. @iapsuksport

Our hardworking Year 8s began their post-exam celebrations on Friday with a delicious brunch on the Headmaster's Lawn. Our fantastic catering department served up savoury croissants, mini pastries, muffins and smoothies which all went down a treat! Monday marks the start of the Year 8 Leavers' Programme which includes trips to Thorpe Park and Yorkshire as well as a film-making workshop with One Day Film School and drama, dance, drumming, cooking and crafts. It's time to make every last day count as they prepare to move on from Heath Mount at the end of term.

A huge well done to our Year 1 and 2 pupils for their celebration of summertime in the Performing Arts Centre this morning. We were all 'walking on sunshine' afterwards! Parents and grandparents were treated to brilliantly humorous poems and uplifting songs as well as recitals from our Year 2 recorder, brass, violin and cello groups who all performed with great poise and confidence. It was lovely to witness how much progress our youngest instrumentalists have made this year. As Mr Fisher noted, ensemble singing and playing is at the heart of the Heath Mount music scene, bringing a great sense of teamwork and fulfilment to all involved. We're looking forward to seeing many of our current Year 1 pupils join our group sessions and individual instrumental music lessons next year. #prepreplife #music #performingarts #privateschool #hertford #enrichment

Yesterday, eight girls from Years 3 and 4 made their way to @queenswoodschool for a fun festival of football. Together with a host of girls from other schools, they took part in drills and match play situations in mixed teams. Whilst there were no prizes on offer, the girls demonstrated fantastic effort and enthusiasm throughout, with three of the group being recognised for their endeavours with a medal. A big thank you to the @queenswoodsport department and well done to each of our future Russos-in-waiting! #girls #football #privateschool #sport #hertfordshire
