Mount pupils leave us ready to take on the world. Through our belief in women and our special ethos, they have an understanding of global issues and they develop an awareness of and a confidence, in their place in world.

Women from The Mount have gone on to achieve great success in a diverse variety of fields; Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Business entrepreneurs, Broadcasters, Authors, Astrophysicists, Actresses and Teachers, to name but a few.

We highly value our connection with our former students and delight in welcoming them back to the School and hearing all about their studies, careers and lives. Alumnae frequently visit The Mount to share their experiences with our pupils as well as reflecting on their time at the school.
