Mrs Adams visited @keechhospice yesterday to deliver a bumper donation of toys from our Pre-Prep community and they were gratefully received by Keech Hospice fundraiser Louise. A big thank you to everyone who contributed! Our Christmas charity drive has also included donations of food and festive treats for @haven.first thanks to our Lower School Reverse Advent Calendar which saw everyone giving rather than receiving in aid of a brilliant local charity. Finally, our Middle and Upper School families generously donated items to @jedidiahuk to help re-stock their food stores for local families who are struggling. We were grateful to several Year 8 volunteers for putting together individual 'pantry packs'. What an amazing response from the whole school, thank you! #seasonofgiving

A group of Heath Mount mums joined us for a festive wreath making workshop this morning hosted by our parents' association, the du Maurier Society. Boosted by Christmas music, homemade cake and coffee, the group got to work and in 90 minutes had produced some spectacular wreaths featuring foliage from the school grounds as well as lights, dried fruit, velvet bows and feathers. A big thank you to du Maurier Chair, Mrs G, for sharing her expertise and organising such a fun and creative morning! #pta #school #community #prepschool #countryschool #privateschool #christmas2025 #hertfordshire

Year 1 children delighted us all with their joyful performance of 'Snowman at Sunset' this week. From the laughter of dressing up a member of staff ready for the snow to the magical moment when a snowman came to life on stage, their heartwarming show gave everyone watching a festive boost. This morning, it was the turn of Pre-Nursery and Nursery children to hit the stage of our performing arts centre. We were so proud of the children, some of whom are just 2-years-old, for singing and dancing in front of a big audience and reminding us of some of the very special traditions surrounding Christmas. #heathmountchristmas #preprep #nursery #prepreplife #hertfordshire #hertford

Our U11 girls have triumphed at the England Hockey East Regional finals today in Ipswich! Despite the wet and chilly weather, the girls started strong and stayed focused from the very first whistle, kicking off the day with an incredible 8-0 victory against Stamford. Every game was filled with passion and smart play with each team member playing a vital role - from game-saving tackles to superb goals. We met Beeston Hall for the second time in the final, clinching a 1-0 win thanks to a decisive goal. It was a fantastic day of hockey, teamwork, and resiliencewell done to the girls on becoming regional champions! #hockey #eastofengland #regionals #passionforsport #schoolsport #hertfordshire
