We warmly invite prospective families to join us on a normal school day on Thursday, 13th February 9-11am for a tour of the school followed by refreshments in the main mansion house. Please book your place using our online registration form.
Headmaster's Welcome
Welcome to Heath Mount, our outstanding co-educational Prep school set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. Childhoods are cherished here and children are nurtured as we give them the opportunities to explore their talents and deepen their learning. It is my privilege to lead a dedicated team of teachers who are passionate about opening up new avenues of learning for every child whilst giving them the space and time to imagine, create and play.
Happy children learn best and we are proud of our award-winning pastoral care which underpins our commitment to creative and academic excellence. Children are valued as individuals and we seek to develop the talents of every child whilst preparing them for the exciting and dynamic challenges that lie ahead. We foster a love of learning whilst encouraging skills of initiative, determination and independence that will last a lifetime. Our pupils look outwards from a secure and happy start.

Most children join us at the start of the academic year in September but if circumstances mean you need to join at another point in the year, we will work with you and your child to ensure they have a smooth transition. If a place isn’t available straight away, we are always happy to add your child to a waiting list. Nursery pupils can join in the term they turn 3 and join our popular Pre-Nursery group. Our Registrar, Mrs Louise Cook, would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. Please contact her at registrar@heathmount.org or call 01920 832916. |
