We offer weekday private tours with Mr Gillam, Headmaster, for prospective families looking for places in Nursery up to Year 7.
We are proud of our record in matching individuals to the right school, ensuring that each pupil can progress to a destination that truly suits their personality, strengths, and aspirations. With destinations ranging from @gordonstounschool in the north to @brightoncollegeuk in the south, as well as top London schools such as @westminsterschool and @harrow.school and prestigious names closer to home including @haileyburyuk, @stahschool and @thebishopsstortfordcollege, we support families to prepare for entrance exams to a broad variety of schools. The Headmaster meets every family when their child is in Year 5 to discuss aspirations and he and the Future Schools manager guide them through the process of finding the right school. As a fully independent Prep School, we offer truly impartial advice and can tailor academics to a wide range of schools. In addition, our highly successful scholarship programme helps to mentor and prepare pupils in Years 7&8 who wish to apply for senior school scholarships. This year, a remarkable 68% of pupils in Year 8 were awarded at least one scholarship. Heath Mount leavers move on to a broad range of Senior Schools, the sheer variety is evidence of our belief in diversity and individuality. Find out more by booking a private tour or visiting us at our Open Morning on Friday, 8th May, 9-11am.

Congratulations to Mrs Schilling who helped the England Women's Over 35 team to win gold at the Masters Indoor Hockey World Cup over the holidays! 15 years after she last played for England, she was thrilled to be pulling on the England shirt once again, proudly taking on the role of Vice-Captain. The Schilling household had double cause for celebration at the World Cup as Clarissa's husband Rob also won gold in the Men's Over 40s tournament! "The real privilege was having my children in the crowd," she says. "Sharing this tournament experience with my husband, who was also playing, and experiencing the incredible atmosphere of Masters hockey was the icing on the cake. Hockey is a uniquely wonderful sport; one of my teammates' mothers was playing in the O65s, representing her country for the first time - now that's inspiring! A sport for life." Our hockey teams are fortunate to benefit from Mrs Schilling's professional expertise and together with Mr Russell, another England Masters player, has helped bring both girls and boys' hockey to new heights at Heath Mount! #hockeymastersworldcup #indoorhockeyworldcup @clarissagoodwinschilling
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.
