We are a thriving Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School for boys and girls aged 2-13 situated in 40 acres of beautiful parkland near Hertford.  

Choosing a school for your child is a big decision and we welcome all prospective parents to come and meet our pupils and staff to gain a feel for what makes Heath Mount such a special place to learn. A Heath Mount childhood is one of wonder, adventure, friendship and fun.  

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.

What do our parents say? 

 

Admissions
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 while 
Academic Success

Our pupils move on to a wide variety of day and boarding schools both locally and further afield, including some of the most prestigious and academically-selective secondaries in the country.  In the last two years, pupils have taken up places at Haileybury, Bishop’s Stortford College, The Leys, Oundle, St Edmund's College, St Alban's School, Ampleforth, Eton, Harrow, Framlingham, Gresham’s, Uppingham, Millfield, Radley, Rugby, Sedbergh, St Francis College, St Columba's, St Chris and Tudor Hall.  

In 2024, 54% of our Year 8 pupils were awarded scholarships (academic, all-round, art, sport, music and drama) to their senior schools.
