Speech Day 2026 will be remembered for its humour and heartwarming moments, not to mention taking place in the midst of a historic heatwave! We were delighted to welcome Mr Rory Bremner as our guest speaker who duly raised the roof with his famous impressions and, as an advocate for neurodiversity, also spoke passionately about the benefits of thinking differently. A huge thank you to @rorybremner for such a memorable speech and for helping to hand out the many awards to our Year 8s. During the afternoon, we said an emotional farewell to several long-standing members of staff, our Chair of Governors Mrs Hodson and families whose connection to Heath Mount dates back well over a decade. Heath Mount's Head Girl and Head Boy delivered excellent speeches, taking us on a nostalgic journey back in time to recount their experiences from Nursery onwards. As is tradition, each Year 8 leaver stood on stage to hear their scroll read out - detailing their many accomplishments and the impact they have made on our school community. The afternoon ended with Bax Choir singing 'The Leavers' Prayer' before everyone headed to the Fountain Lawn for strawberries and cream. Wishing all of our families a very happy summer holiday and we look forward to hearing how our Class of 26 leavers get on their first term of senior school in September! #rorybremner #speechday #leavers #classof26 #privateschool #hertford #independentschool #schoolmemories @tatlerschools @goodschoolsguide @muddyhertsbeds @talkeducation @iapsuk

Reception pupils hosted their very own 'Summer Festival' yesterday to celebrate the end of a very successful year. They decorated bunting, posters and tin cans for the stalls and proudly wore their tie-die t-shirts and crowns that they had made especially for the occasion. There were beaming smiles all round as the children enjoyed their special day. We hope they have a wonderful holiday and can't wait to welcome them back to Pre-Prep for life in Year 1! #prepreplife #memories #childhood #cherishingchildhood #hertford #hertfordmums #hertforddads #reception

All of our boarders came together to celebrate the end of another fun year of boarding on Monday evening. As well as a delicious BBQ, the children enjoyed a host of inflatable games and, despite the heat, even slipped into some sumo costumes for a quick wrestle! Thankfully, an ice cream van was on hand to help everyone cool down. Enjoy looking at some of the fantastic images taken by Mr Mann. With just two days of term left, we'd like to say a big thank you to our House parents Mr Elliott and Mr & Mrs Mann as well as Matron, the catering team and all of our boarding assistants for looking after the pupils and giving them a taste of independence away from home. It's an emotional moment for some of our Year 8 pupils who have been boarding with us for several years, they will be missed! We look forward to welcoming the next generation of boarders when our Year 3 pupils will be invited for their free boarding trial nights.ew Did you know? Heath Mount offers flexi-boarding every Monday-Thursday night! #flexiboarding #boarding #boardinglife #hertford #hertfordshire #independence #celebration #homefromhome
