Flashback to last Wednesday when our incredible @holroydhowe catering team served up a delicious Christmas lunch for over 600 pupils and staff! On the menu was roast Norfolk turkey, pigs in blankets, shredded Brussel sprouts with garlic and thyme, roast honey parsnips and carrots followed by a platter of sweet treats. After such a hearty lunch it was time to burn off some energy on the dancefloor, with pupils in Years 3-8 enjoying their annual Christmas disco with plenty of festive hits on the playlist! #christmaslunch #schoolfood #prepschool #hertfordshire

Take a look at some of the wonderful festive art produced by pupils from Reception up to Year 8 at the end of term. From snow-encrusted berries drawn on an iPad and monoprints inspired by Barbara Rae to Reception's sweet ceramic gingerbread, Year 4's watercolour wreaths and Pottery Club's penguin huddle, these beautiful pieces will no doubt be taking pride of place at our pupils' homes this Christmas. @heathmountart

Oh no they didn't! Oh yes they did...Heath Mount staff put on probably the best pantomime of all time in a spectacular end of term surprise for the children this morning. Our unsuspecting pupils filed into the Performing Arts Centre thinking they were about to hear an assembly about holiday homework when they were treated to a full-blown panto performance of Cinderella by our super talented staff. There were laughs galore as Cinderella defied the odds to win her prince charming and plenty of boos for our panto dame, Mr Pay (who else?), and the three ugly sisters! Can you recognise all the staff members?! Congratulations to the cast and crew for making everyone's Christmas with this hilarious treat. #pantomime #beststaffever #heathmountfamily #prepschool #hertfordshire

Our Reception and Year 2 pupils have enchanted us all with their Christmas performances this week. This morning's Nativity by Reception pupils told the traditional story of the birth of Jesus with a few modern twists and plenty of fabulous dance moves. Year 2, meanwhile, shone in their fun production of 'Santa's On Strike'. The festive musical tells the story of what happens when Santa watches too many episodes of Supernanny and decides no children are going to get Christmas presents! Congratulations to all the children for their beautiful singing and acting! #nativity #christmas #showtime
