At Heath Mount, the journey into Lower School is one filled with excitement, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging. "Our transition from Year 2 into Year 3 is thoughtfully designed to support every child academically, socially, and emotionally ensuring they step into the next stage of their school life with confidence," says Head of Lower School, Mrs Larroude. Our pupils (aged 8-10) grow in independence, moving between the Lower School and Main School building to attend specialist lessons in Art, Design Technology, and Computing. They also start French and Spanish lessons and continue their weekly time in Forest School. Sport, outdoor play and time spent in nature are all woven into each week, providing a perfect balance and preserving childhood pleasures. Lower School is a place where achievements both big and small are recognised and celebrated. The Wonder Wall proudly showcases personal successes from pupils in Years 3 and 4, shining a light on their progress. There is a great emphasis on pastoral support and promoting our school values, with thoughtful actions celebrated on our dedicated Kindness Wall and in our weekly 'Shout Outs'. To enquire about a space for your child in Year 3 or 4, please contact Louise Cook in Admissions on 01920 832916. We would be delighted to arrange a private tour for you to explore the Lower School further and meet with Mrs Larroude and the Headmaster, Mr Gillam. Alternatively, join us on our next Open Morning on Friday, 8th May to see the whole school in action. Book your place via the link in bio. We look forward to welcoming you!

Welcome home to our ski trip group who have enjoyed a spectacular week on the slopes of Serre Chevalier. We were so proud of our beginners who made great progress from day one, as well as our intermediates who got their first taste of off-piste skiing and our advanced skiers who tackled black runs and consistently worked to improve their technique. Luckily conditions were perfect, with crystal clear skies to enjoy the epic 360-degree vistas from the mountain tops. The children's smiles couldn't have been broader as each pupil conquered new challenges, grew in confidence and made the most of every minute. Their teachers were so impressed by how respectful and attentive they were when listening to their instructors and how kind and supportive they were to one another. A big thank you to our three expert instructors: Thibaud, Julian and Phillipe at @ecoleskiconnections for their superb tuition, and to our team of Heath Mount staff who ensured that time off the slopes was just as fun - with karaoke, quiz night, bowling, pizza and swimming all in the mix! #skitrip #schooltrip #serrchevalier #opportunity #privateschool #hertford

Amazingly, our NASA trip coincided with the launch of Artemis II and pupils were lucky enough to see all the action! Inspired by the four astronauts en route to orbit the moon, Heath Mount pupils certainly made the most of their NASA astronaut training experience at the Kennedy Space Center. They also took in the awesome sight of space shuttle Atlantis. More highlights coming soon... #astronaut #kennedyspacecenter #schooltrip #nasa
