Congratulations to our inspirational sports department! We are so proud to have been awarded the @muddystilettosschools award for the Prep School that's most 'Passionate About Sport'. Over 500 schools entered the awards, in association with @debretts_education, and we are thrilled that the judges recognised our unique and holistic approach. At Heath Mount we ensure that sport is inclusive and that pupils experience both its mental and physical benefits. Last year was a record-breaking year for us in terms of national and regional achievements as well as sports scholarship awards to senior schools. Our revamped sports scholarship programme and unique PE programme have helped boost results as well as develop children's enthusiasm for staying fit and healthy. "It is with immense pride that we accept this award in recognition of the passion and dedication shown towards all aspects of sport at Heath Mount," says Joe Elliot, Director of Sport at Heath Mount. "I am incredibly lucky to lead a department that inspires pupils and fosters a lifelong love of sport. We always pride ourselves on the opportunities we provide for all pupils to represent their school regularly in a variety of sports, and the enthusiasm that shines through in every lesson. We celebrate every success, from nursery pupils doing their first fundamental movements session to Year 8 pupils achieving on the national stage. I am delighted that this has been recognized by the judges and extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the entire Heath Mount community for supporting us on our journey."

Year 1 recently enjoyed a flavour of seaside holidays from bygone days with the help of @historyoffthepage. Dressed in their summer clothes, the children enjoyed traditional Victorian-era activities and crafts. They then role-played shopkeepers and customers on their make-believe Victorian Pier complete with fish and chip shop, ice cream stall, souvenirs stand and tea room. The day ended with a fabulous Punch and Judy show. #hertfordshire #victorian #seaside #handsonlearning #preprep #privateschool #hertfordshire

Some happy images from our recent Pre-Prep Sports Days which included flat races as well as fun-filled relays and obstacle races. Well done to Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 for some superb teamwork and for cheering one another on. We were also very impressed by all the parents who gamely took part! #heathmountfamily #passionforsport #summertime #schoolsportsday #prepreplife #hertfordshire #nursery
