Define Your Path
We offer a diverse range of A Levels. You can choose three A Levels or more (plus an EPQ), and our experienced staff are here to guide you. In our all-girls’ environment, where young women speak up, subjects are not gendered, and we encourage you to follow your ambitions.
We work with you to create subject combinations matched to your goals or offer flexibility for those still exploring their future paths.

Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Showcase and explore your passions through an EPQ whether it is an essay, piece of art, music or creative writing. This is excellent preparation for university with its focus on self-led study, with timetabled support and guidance. We encourage bold, diverse projects. Previous topics explored include analysing Mars’ viability or challenging misogyny.
“Working in the cosmetics industry has always been an ambition of mine. So much so that my EPQ was focused on the cosmetics industry and the influence of chemical development and social change. Starting in July I will be doing a work placement with the cosmetics brand L’Oreal. The research I undertook for my EPQ gave me some valuable knowledge for my interview, which meant I stood out against the other candidates. I also used my experience of public speaking which I had from both my EPQ presentation and various activities from my time at The Mount.” – Izzy, Mount Alumna
A Level Teaching
At The Mount Sixth Form, lessons are designed with girls in mind. We create an environment where you have time to fully understand everything and learn in a way that just ‘clicks’. You’ll find plenty of opportunities for engaging discussions, interactive learning, collaborative projects, in-depth analysis, and personalised one-on-one support.
You’ll be taught by inspiring, dedicated teachers who are passionate about their subjects. Because of our small class sizes, your teachers will really get to know you, offering tailored help and support that’s essential during the two fast-paced years of your A-Level courses.
