At The Mount Sixth Form we set the bar high for our students and they obtain excellent results.

Adrienne Richmond, Principal, said, “I am tremendously proud of the College II girls. They have worked extremely hard over their two year A Level courses. Despite the unusual circumstances of the last few months and the cancellation of exams, in true Mount style the girls always remained upbeat and motivated. Throughout lockdown our dedicated staff provided girls with online lessons completing the course syllabuses. Girls also undertook extended study sessions designed to develop their study skills for university and beyond. The excellent results they received are extremely well deserved. I congratulate all the girls and wish them every success for their future.”
University Destinations
Students from The Mount Sixth Form regularly accept offers from their first-choice universities. Each year, our girls proceed to a broad range of university destinations, with most leavers accepting offers from Oxbridge, Russell Group and international universities.
In 2020, Leavers’ university destinations included Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, St Andrews and York for a diverse range of courses including veterinary medicine, geography, psychology, liberal arts, fashion design, costume design and business.
Girls in The Mount Sixth Form are offered extensive UCAS support when considering their future choices and making their University applications. The freedom of an all-girls environment means there are no stereotypes to future destinations or careers. Career aspirations are not limited and girls are encouraged to believe in themselves. If girls want to study Engineering, Medicine, Fashion, Art, take a gap year or enter the world of work we help them achieve this.
