What Parents Say
 
"We felt, as soon as we’d been given the tour of The Mount, that our daughter would be happy here – and we were proved right!"

"My daughter has recently joined the school and simply loves her day. She goes in smiling and comes home smiling!"
"A happy, nurturing environment which has helped my daughter thrive."
"The girls flourish in a warm, caring and happy environment. There is a good rapport between staff and students. Pastoral care given by staff, including year heads and the school nurse, is excellent."
"As well as being encouraged to strive for academic success our daughter has had plenty of opportunities to join in many activities which she has thoroughly enjoyed: Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, choir, orchestra, cookery, speaking activities, flower arranging, sailing to name but a few. The girls have enjoyed many school trips: France (to practise French), Austria (with choir), Italy (classics), bonding trips to Norfolk and Isle of Wight, geography field trips, the theatre, a leisure park."
"Parents can speak to the teachers about any problems that their child may encounter."

"It’s nice to be part of a school where you are a somebody rather than an anonymous face."
Letters of Thanks
To all at The Mount,
Thank you very much for inviting us to come and listen to the fascinating talk by Caroline Lawrence, we very thoroughly enjoyed it. You were all really welcoming to us.

Everyone loved everything about the visit, but we especially liked Caroline’s sense of humour and her amazing artefacts, in particular the sponge on the stick was extremely amusing.

However, none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for your kindness, we dearly appreciate this.

Best Regards,

Year 6 at St. Paul’s School.
Quotes from students

This school has provided the perfect environment for every single one of its students to grow, and mature in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere.

The Mount School is celebrated for its capacity to go beyond focussing solely on academics, and widening the horizons of its students. With so much on offer and such fantastic prospects for every single girl, art, drama and sports are just the tip of the iceberg.

What I love most about the school, is their dedication to making sports fun.

The sports day allows every single girl to participate, whether she is athletic or not.

At any Mount School event, no girl is left out.
The size of the school has allowed me to make countless friendships, and taught me how to interact with girls of any age.

The teachers are, for me, a highlight of the school.

There are so many fantastic members of staff, who create an electrifying atmosphere in classes.

The sizes of the classes at The Mount School mean that each girl can be given individual attention, and teachers can cater to the strengths and weaknesses of every pupil.

The caring atmosphere means that every girl feels welcome.

As you said in your speech, The Mount is clearly a friendly place with a strong sense of community.'

'"To be rather than seem to be" captures it very well.'
'Both myself and my wife felt good about the school'.
