Listen to some of the beautiful solo performances from our music scholars' recital at Standon Church.... Did you know? Heath Mount pupils start their musical education in the Pre-Prep with two academic music lessons per week and one singing lesson. They also have instrumental demonstrations to help them decide which instrument they might like to learn. Children in Year 1 all have the option to learn the violin in a group lesson. In Year 2 pupils have the option to learn the violin, recorder, cornet or baritone in a group. Private instrumental lessons are available from Year 2. 80%, of pupils take up a musical instrument; many learn two, three or even four. Instrumentalists are encouraged to take part in one or more of the flourishing instrumental ensembles on offer. Private lessons are provided by specialist teachers in Voice, Piano, Guitar, Violin, Viola, Recorder, Cornet, Flute, Saxophone, Oboe, Cello, Percussion, Clarinet, Double Bass, Trumpet, French Horn, Baritone, Trombone and Tuba. Our vibrant extra-curricular music programme helps accelerate children's technical and performance skills, with 11 orchestras and ensembles to choose from. We also offer free music theory classes help children prepare for their music exams.

Well done to our Year 7 & 8 music scholars who delighted local residents at yesterday's lunchtime recital in Standon Church. We heard a variety of instrumental and voice performances with pieces by composers such as Chopin, Schubert and Saint-Saens. Our music scholars contribute so much to the musical life of Heath Mount and we aim to give them as many performance opportunities as possible to help grow their confidence. They also receive individual mentoring, additional music lessons, enrichment trips and music theory tuition to help boost their overall musicianship. Find out more about our music enrichment programme via the link in bio, or why not join us at our upcoming Open Morning on Friday, 8th May, 9-11am, to meet our Director of Music and some of our talented young musicians. #scholarship #standonchurch #music #enrichment #performingarts #privateschool #hertford

First day of summer term 2026 has been a memorable one, not least because our U11 girls were crowned IAPS National Netball Champions! This special team achieved an unbeaten run to the final against @orchardhouseschool, clinching victory with a thrilling 11-7 win. Our coaches couldn't have been prouder of the way the girls supported one another on their big day and throughout the months of extra training prior to the national finals. It was clear to see what strong bonds they have made as a group and their friendship and positive attitudes shone through. Huge congratulations to the girls who have made Heath Mount history by winning the title in this age group for the first time, and a special well done to Emily for winning player of the final. It's certainly been another extraordinary year for Heath Mount netball under the inspired leadership of Miss Meister. Last term also saw our U13 netballers achieve the national IAPS title (for the third year running) and our U12 team achieve silver in their IAPS final. We are grateful to @kentcollegepembury for hosting us today and to the @iapsuksport team for a brilliant tournament. Most of all, thank you to coaches Miss Meister and Miss Brooking for their hard work preparing the team for this moment and giving them the self belief to reach the top. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the loyal parents and family members who have turned out to cheer the girls on at each stage of the competition. One parent even organised a morning shout out from Chris Evans on his BBC breakfast show to wish them luck! #iaps #netball #sportingexcellence #teamwork #passionateaboutsport #netballfamily @iapsuksport @muddyhertsbeds @tatlerschools @independentschoolparent @goodschoolsguide

We can't wait to welcome back to all of our pupils tomorrow! There's so much to look forward to this term including cricket season, residential adventures, our charity Colour Run, concerts, plays, House challenge, a brilliant programme of after-school clubs, and, of course, our upcoming dance show. This term also marks the final chapter at Heath Mount for our exceptional Year 8 cohort and we wish them every success and happiness for their final few months with us. We hope they make the most of every moment. It's going to be an exciting first few weeks and we look forward to helping each child make progress and achieve new goals. Let's go! photos from last year's Summer Term. #summerterm #privateshcool #hertford #heathmountfamily
