About Heath Mount School

Heath Mount is a leading independent day and boarding school for boys and girls between the ages of 2 and 13. Our pupils are privileged to be educated at one of the oldest Prep Schools in the country, founded in 1796 and situated since 1934 in the Grade I listed mansion of the Woodhall Park Estate just outside Hertford.

Our idyllic woodland setting, dynamic teaching staff, family ethos and award-winning pastoral care provide a joyful and stimulating learning environment. We offer a broad curriculum that balances academic rigour with remarkable enrichment opportunities. Our pupils achieve outstanding results within a nurturing and supportive framework that puts happiness and mental wellbeing at the heart of all we do.

Ensuring that every child is fully prepared to get into their chosen Senior School is of paramount importance. We are proud of our record in matching individuals to the right school, one that compliments their skill set. Leavers move on to a broad range of Senior Schools, the sheer variety is evidence of our belief in diversity and individuality.

Heath Mount offers an inspiring, stimulating and dynamic working environment. Our staff are dedicated to providing excellence in all areas of school life and enjoy being a part of Heath Mount’s vibrant co-educational community. We are focussed on giving our 500 pupils aged 2 to 13 years old the best start in their educational journey and look for exceptional candidates to inspire our pupils and contribute to the life of the school.

What people say about us

Pupils make excellent progress from their starting points across the curriculum. They have an excellent attitude to learning and an ability to accept making mistakes as a step to progress. Their achievements beyond the classroom are outstanding, especially in sport, art and music. Children in the EYFS (Nursery & Reception) reach expected levels of development rapidly and, by the end of Year 6, almost two-thirds of older pupils achieve results which are significantly above the expectations for pupils sitting similar tests.
