Ignite Programme - The Mount School

Shape your spark, define your path

What if Sixth Form could prepare you for more than top grades?

At The Mount, we go beyond textbooks. The Ignite Programme empowers you to build life skills that matter – from confidence to creativity, resilience to leadership. Because success isn’t just a grade.

Many of the crucial skills for success are learned through life experiences, interactions and creativity. That’s why at The Mount, alongside A Level studies, you’ll take part in our Ignite Programme.

Ignite your potential

The programme offers young women a holistic Sixth Form experience where a diverse array of activities, real-world experiences and achievements culminate in a unique award that showcases your skills and passions. University, Apprenticeship or Career? We’ve Got You: Ignite allows you to get noticed and unlock your dream future.

We’re not just studying for exams. We’re talking real-world skills, diverse experiences, and achievements that actually matter.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all programme. You’ll be crafting a bespoke award that showcases your passions and strengths.
Whether you’re aiming for a top university, a competitive apprenticeship, or heading straight into the workforce, Ignite gives you the skills and the credentials to get there.
Through leadership opportunities, innovation, and personal growth, you’ll be challenged, supported, and empowered to make a meaningful impact.

The Ignite Programme will complement your academic courses and provide you with a range of co-curricular enrichment activities and opportunities across three strands known as the Three Sparks of Ignite.
