Head Teacher's Letter
The Mount School holds a distinguished place within the realm of independent education, offering a nurturing and intellectually stimulating environment where every child is encouraged to thrive, feel secure, and pursue their full potential. Our meticulously crafted curriculum is designed to provide a rich tapestry of learning experiences both within and beyond the classroom, with a strong emphasis on fostering English proficiency and mathematical excellence.
Recognising the unique strengths and needs of each child, we champion an individualised approach to learning, nurturing independence and collaboration among our learners. Our children are encouraged to embrace independence and interdependence, regularly engaging in collaborative work informed by choice, creativity, and constructive critique.
Our dedicated team of professionals embodies the highest standards of excellence, striving to provide immersive and inspiring learning opportunities that cultivate curiosity and academic achievement. The Mount Preparatory School has earned a well-deserved reputation for academic success in 11+ entrance exams, with many students securing scholarships for Sport, Music, Art, and Drama at prestigious secondary independent schools.
Nestled amidst beautiful grounds, our school environment is secure, stimulating, and fosters a deep respect for the natural world. Many of our children are entrusted with various responsibilities, such as classroom monitors, Team Captains, House Captains, and Head Boy or Head Girl roles, fostering leadership qualities and confidence essential for their future endeavours.
Yet, the true essence of the school lies in its children, who embody happiness, confidence, eloquence, and exemplary manners. They take immense pride in their school community and articulate their experiences with poise and self-assurance. At The Mount, we uphold rigorous expectations for every individual, instilling a strong work ethic and fostering a culture of mutual respect.
While words may provide glimpses into our ethos and facilities, nothing compares to experiencing The Mount Preparatory School firsthand. I warmly invite you to witness our vibrant school community in action and meet our exceptional students. It would be my pleasure to welcome you to The Mount Preparatory School and showcase the remarkable journey of learning and growth that defines us.
