Heath Mount School offers 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.'

The school aims 'to provide a safe, friendly and nurturing environment which promotes well-being' and 'seeks to uncover and develop potential whilst maintaining a balance between traditional childhood experiences and preparing children for an ever-changing and evolving world'.

Headmaster Chris Gillam says: "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."

"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."
