Creating an environment where every individual is valued, enabled to flourish and given the confidence to know they can achieve is at the heart of The Mount School ethos. 

We are committed to bringing out the best in every pupil in all that they do. At The Mount pupils develop their academic and social talents to the full, within a happy and supportive community.  Tradition is combined with dynamic and forward-thinking teaching to equip pupils with the skills, ambition and confidence to succeed. 

As a Quaker Foundation our School aims to:

Ensure pupils respect and value every individual
Enable pupils to have the freedom to flourish in a calm and caring community
Inspire pupils to strive for personal excellence
Challenge pupils to think and live adventurously
Empower pupils to make a positive contribution to our changing world

Pupils at The Mount School learn to think for themselves, developing both resilience and empathy. We foster and promote creativity that encourage our pupils to be ambitious in their aspirations. Mount pupils grow into sharp, grounded, compassionate, confident, and self-aware young adults ready to take on any pursuit they put their mind to.

Children leave The Mount intellectually curious, emotionally confident, socially responsible, prepared to succeed and contribute to our complex and changing world. 

The School’s ethos reflects the Quaker values of: 

  • Simplicity 
  • Truth 
  • Equality 
  • Peace 
  • Social Justice 
  • Sustainability 

These Quaker values, also called testimonies, are central to our School community – they influence and underpin everything we do.
