Year 5 pupils recently enjoyed their very first residential school trip to the beautiful Peak District. They spent 3 adventure-filled days at @dukes.barn.beeley and displayed a brilliant have-a-go attitude to all of the new experiences and activities. The exciting programme of activities included weaselling, caving, climbing and canoeing to Chatsworth House. Several pupils even leapt at the chance to get up for a 7am run! Their teachers were so proud to see the children embracing new challenges and stepping outside their comfort zones. It was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence and make some special memories with friends! Did you know? From Year 5s - Year 8, pupils go on an annual residential trip in the UK focussing on outdoor adventure and teamwork skills. Our senior pupils also have the opportunity to go on our STEM trip to NASA, Florida, our ski trip to Serre Chevalier and our 10-day Zambian safari, charity and culture trip. #privateschool #wholechild #residentialtrips

Year 8 artists were inspired by Lucian Freud's painting style as they worked on their self portraits over the past few weeks. They were encouraged to find underlying colours within their portrait photographs and paint using loose brushwork. Here are some of the brilliant results from our first group! Did you know❓ Heath Mount pupils are taught by our specialist art staff from Reception upwards. In Year 7, there's also the opportunity to join our art scholars pathway, including additional weekly art sessions and workshops with visiting artists. #lucienfreud #schoolart #creativearts #privateschool #hertford

The Performing Arts Centre underwent a brilliantly spooky transformation this week for the Upper School's Halloween Disco. Years 7&8 partied the night away under giant cobwebs and spiders, with a ghoulish Mr Pay taking on DJ duties. A big thank you to all the staff who made it such a memorable event. #upperschoollife
