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, onethat complements 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.
