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

Year 6 reminded us of the wonder of childhood, the power of imagination and the importance of never leaving a friend behind in their funny and inspiring musical production of 'Imaginary'. By the end we were all fully signed up members of The Adventurer's Code and fans of the catchy Oogie Boogie Woogie! Imaginary tells the story of Sam and his imaginary friend Milo who spend all their time creating worlds of adventure and excitement through the power of their imagination. However, as Sam's first day at a new school approaches, his mother begins to worry that Milo is holding him back, preventing him from growing up. Their journey is filled with twists and turnsnone more significant than when Milo discovers he is imaginary and must find the courage to defeat a fearsome headmaster determined to "upgrade" their friends. Year 6 worked exceptionally hard to bring this production to life, delivering an outstanding performance. Mrs Mann and Mr Fisher are incredibly proud of them all.

Our youngest pupils have had a fantastic day of sport, teamwork and fun at their Pre-Prep Sports Days. Themed around the Football World Cup, the children tacked a host of obstacle and running races with great enthusiasm and determination - cheered on by their parents and teachers. Well done all! #prepreplife #sportsday #hertford #privateschool

Not your average passenger to school! Year 7 pupils have been brilliant at helping out with morning 'kiss and drop' duties in the absence of our Year 8s this week and were thrilled to meet a very cuddly lamb who had come along for the ride! Just goes to prove, there's no such thing as an ordinary day at Heath Mount! #countryschool #countrylife
