Mount House School

[EduCativ]

Mount House School is an independent school for the 21st century where children develop into confident learners. At Mount House, every individual is valued and each child’s unique talents will be identified and nurtured. Students leave as able, articulate, balanced, caring, and well-rounded individuals with a genuine love of learning, ready to take on life’s challenges and opportunities, aware of the needs of others, and confident in their ability to make a difference.
Mount House expects pupils to be the very best they can be and inspires them to make their best even better. In leading the School, the Head, Executive Principal and Directors are guided by a wider view that the pupils are on a journey of learning and personal development and Mount House has a profound responsibility to treat each pupil as an individual in meeting all his or her academic, pastoral, and social needs and co-curricular interests as she or he progresses to university and adulthood.
Our overarching aim is that Mount House is a happy and successful school, with an excellent record of GCSE and A level results and an outstanding record of students achieving places at top universities. The School is equally concerned to foster the wide range of skills that help young pupils grow into capable adults with a sense of self-worth. Mount House supports pupils to strive for academic excellence within a clear framework of personalized pastoral care and well-being that brings success without stress.
Mount House is committed to maintaining small class sizes. This is, undoubtedly, the best way to maximize the learning of each student. Everyone knows that a good teacher makes all the difference to a child’s enthusiasm for a course. All the teachers at Mount House are experienced, highly qualified professionals with a strong track record of success.
Mount House has produced some excellent, and rapidly improving, public examination results in recent years. The summer of 2017 saw the percentage of A*/As reach an impressive 40% at A level and more than a third of the grades at GCSE. A vibrant classroom environment and an enriching academic and co-curricular program ensure that pupils leave with a love of learning, confidence, a firm value system, and fully prepared for the challenges of their future life. At Mount House, we aspire to academic excellence in every age group and monitor progress closely as pupils move through the school
In the Mount House environment, every child is motivated, enthused, and supported to maximize their highest academic potential. Whatever their academic starting point, pupils are challenged with work that will extend and stimulate. We teach pupils to be independent thinkers, we encourage them to develop their thoughts, ideas, and opinions. They are given the tools to analyze their performances and to create a strategy for success both in the short term and in their future lives.
A Mount House education extends beyond the confines of the classroom. Our ‘skills for the future’ program begins as pupils join us in Form 1 and continue until they leave us to university. It starts in KS3 with a focus on Public Speaking and Leadership. Pupils are expected to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and other extra-curricular activities as they move through KS4. In the 6th Form, all pupils will take our ‘Growing Foxes’ course – a unique course in strategy – that will lead them through their subject choices, UCAS applications, and to their successful completion of an Extended Project Qualification at AS level.
