Year 7 have dived into the activities at their Abernant Lake Residential in Wales, rising to the challenge of paddle boarding, raft-building, archery and climbing as well as learning a few key survival skills. They have been working brilliantly together in their teams and taking great pride in ferrying their lucky mascots around each task! #outdooradventure #residential #prepschoollife #privateschool #teamwork

Our athletes delivered an exceptional set of performances at the East Area Prep School Athletics Championships, bringing home a phenomenal 10 medals: 6 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze, while securing 8 National Finals qualifications. Leading the way were our six East Regional Champions: Charlie (U12 1200m), Romilly (U13 Hurdles), Zura (U13 100m), Billy (U13 shot put), William (U13 200m) and the U13 boys relay team. They all achieved gold medals and a coveted place at the National Finals. Silver medals and national qualification were also achieved by Florie (U13 javelin) and Lucas (U13 hurdles). There were further podium finishes for Billy (U13 javelin) and Poppy (U13 long jump), who both earned bronze medals, while several other athletes recorded impressive top five finishes. To have 6 regional champions, 2 runners-up and 8 National Finals qualifiers is a remarkable achievement and reflects the hard work, commitment and talent across the squad and our coaching team. A huge congratulations to all who competed and the very best of luck to our national finalists who will compete again at the Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham on July 1st. #athletics #prepschoollife #privateschool #hertford #eastregion #passionforsport

Huge congratulations to Charlie who is the new @iapsuk u11 50m butterfly champion and broke the current record, and to Billy who won silver in the u12 breaststroke, just 0.01 seconds off gold! We're so proud of all of our finalists who represented Heath Mount in the Olympic pool at yesterday's national IAPS swimming finals, their commitment has been truly remarkable. @iapsuksport

Our hardworking Year 8s began their post-exam celebrations on Friday with a delicious brunch on the Headmaster's Lawn. Our fantastic catering department served up savoury croissants, mini pastries, muffins and smoothies which all went down a treat! Monday marks the start of the Year 8 Leavers' Programme which includes trips to Thorpe Park and Yorkshire as well as a film-making workshop with One Day Film School and drama, dance, drumming, cooking and crafts. It's time to make every last day count as they prepare to move on from Heath Mount at the end of term.
