WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY...
“We originally applied for State schools for our child to start in reception year, but did not receive any of the places requested. We then learned about The Mount School and after visiting, it seems to be the best decision we made, to have our child educated and developed at The Mount School.
The fact that the school is small brings out a sense of friendliness and a family-oriented atmosphere throughout all pupils and staff. We are amazed that so many children from all classes and staff know my child by name in just under a full term.
The small class sizes provide my child with ample time to develop and continuously improve on weaknesses with the teachers, and the varied club activities offered by the school allows us to see the emergent of talent coming from our child, which we never knew before the previous year.
Our child very much enjoys going to school and we are very happy for that and will continue to have our child attend The Mount School until it is deemed necessary to move into High School.”
Kindest regards,
Ms Chou and Mr Tat
