Our Nursery pupils are an integral part of our buzzing and thriving Pre-Prep; enjoying use of the school's woodland setting and extensive facilities as well as taking part in a range of enriching workshops and whole school events. Head of Nursery, Mrs Dakakni, leads a warm and caring staff team. Together, they provide stimulating, imagination-filled days with plenty of fresh air and outdoor play, nutritious food and secure routines. The children also enjoy weekly Forest School sessions and specialist PE lessons. We were delighted to receive the following feedback on a recent new joiner survey: "I asked to speak with some of the teaching staff prior to making a decision and they made time to really understand what I was looking for in terms of approach. Mrs Dakakni is easily one of the most impressive early years practitioners I've spoken to I can say in all certainty that everything about the school has surpassed our expectations. We're so happy with our choice! " New Nursery Parent Want to know more about our Nursery and flexible sessions?

A very Happy Mothering Sunday to our Heath Mount mums! We're sure that Reception mums will be delighted with their colourful flowers made by the children in Forest School - as well as Space-themed cards to tell them they are loved to the moon and back! Nursery children, meanwhile, gave their mums a big challenge - to guess which mummy portrait belonged to them! #mothersday #heathmountfamily

Our Year 4s truly impressed their audiences with two outstanding performances of Oliver with a Twist, a lively musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story. "From the opening number to the final bow, the children brought energy, commitment, and genuine joy to the stage," says Head of Drama, Mrs Mann. "They sang with confidence and acted with maturity beyond their yearsall while navigating complex scene transitions, quick costume changes, and a myriad of Victorian style props." What stood out most was their teamwork. Ella from Year 4 captured it perfectly when she said, "It's not about me, me, me... it's about us, us, us!" Her words beautifully reflect the ethos behind the production and the dedication shown by the entire year group. Congratulations to our fabulous cast and the talented staff team behind the scenes! #schooldrama #olivertwist #performingarts #privateschool #hertford

After a heroic final effort from the girls, our U13 netball team have become IAPS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! The girls were up against some of the best school teams in the country, but they kept the faith and didn't stop until they had brought home the national title! The team had a brilliant start to the tournament - winning all of their pool games (18-7 against Feltonfleet, 12-3 against Langley, 8-6 v Windlesham and 11-10 against last year's champions - Bromsgrove). The team then progressed to the quarter final, winning 12-7 against Brighton College to make it into the final four. Following their semi-final win against Dean Close, they came face to face with a very strong Millfield team in the final. It was a nail-biting affair that finished 10-10 and went to extra time, but the Heath Mount girls kept the adrenaline going and scored a 9-2 victory! We are so proud of the girls and their coaches, Miss Meister and Miss Brooking, who have helped our Year 8 pupils prepare so well for this moment. Extra congratulations go to Immy who was named player of the tournament! A big well done to runners-up, @millfieldschool, and to all the teams who took part today and a huge thank you to organiser @iapsuksport and our hosts @rugbyschoolsports. The girls' achievement follows hot on the heels of the U12 team who won silver at their national finals. We now look forward to seeing how the U11 team get on next week and wish them luck in their final preparations! #passionateaboutsport #nationalnetballfinals #iaps #netballfamily #lovenetball #privateschool #hertford @goodschoolsguide @tatlerschools @muddyhertsbeds @independentschoolparent
