For generations, The Mount Sixth Form has empowered girls to not only excel academically but to flourish as individuals. This enduring success is rooted our core value; to respect and value every individual.
Leadership Roles
As a senior member of the School community you will have many opportunities to take on responsibilities that will develop your management and leadership skills. Opportunities for you to use your initiative, work as part of a team or to take charge include being part of the College Leadership Team, Captains of sports teams, House Captains, mentoring younger girls or running clubs and activities.
Global Thinking
At The Mount, our Quaker values help you find your voice and understand your place in the world. Our PSHE sessions are all about keeping you in the know, engaged, and ready to take action—giving you skills you’ll need to strive and achieve in the ever-changing job market. In Sixth Form, PSHE covers everything from managing your money at uni to exploring different cultures. You’ll lead discussions on important topics like Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement, so you can really make your voice heard.
PeaceJam School of Excellence
We’re very proud to be a PeaceJam School of Excellence, inspired by Nobel Peace Prize winners who are all about creating young leaders who make a real difference. Through PeaceJam, our Sixth Formers have traveled everywhere from Bradford to Monaco, working with Nobel Laureates and using their inspiration to create positive change in our world. Girls are supported and encouraged to engage in our local school and city communities, and to participate in social action projects, which require them to learn how to talk to people in power, to persuade them to change and to evaluate their success.
Community Service
Mount girls volunteer many hours of their time to help others. You will have plenty of scope to give without even leaving the School campus, for example helping with the Green Committee, raising money for charity, participation in Amnesty International activities, mentoring younger pupils and assisting in the classrooms of The Mount Junior School. Further afield, we have Mount girls working in charity shops, befriending the elderly and helping with children’s charities. We will assist you in arranging placements with a link to a prospective career
