The Mount School Shortlisted for Two Mid Yorkshire Chamber Business Awards

I'm really pleased to share that The Mount School has been shortlisted for TWO awards at the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Business Celebration Awards 2026!

• Scale-Up Business of the Year

• Kirklees Business of the Year

It's a real honour to be recognised in both categories, alongside some fantastic businesses from across the region.

Scale-Up Business of the Year

Since 2017, we've grown our pupil numbers, expanded our team and invested heavily in creating an extraordinary childhood for every child who comes through our doors.

From transforming a red London double-decker bus into a creative learning space to building our Imaginarium, developing new nursery facilities and launching our tutoring service, we've continued to find new ways to bring awe, wonder and amazement into children's lives.

And we've got plenty more planned!

It's particularly pleasing to see the hard work of our team recognised as the school continues to grow.

Kirklees Business of the Year

For 75 years, The Mount has been educating children in Huddersfield, and we've been working to make the school a place that benefits the wider community too.

From hosting our annual fireworks extravaganza and Christmas celebrations to bringing local businesses together and creating employment opportunities, we're finding more ways to open The Mount up to people beyond our school families.

Alongside this, we've continued to raise our educational standards, with our latest ISI inspection recognising The Mount as a school with a significant strength.

All of this comes back to our purpose: to make childhood unforgettable.

Looking Forward to December!

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 2nd December 2026 at the Accu Stadium in Huddersfield.

We're looking forward to taking some of our brilliant team along, the people who make these extraordinary childhoods possible every day.

Congratulations to all the other finalists. It should be a fantastic evening!
