Below are some of the many benefits of choosing an all-girls education at The Mount Sixth Form.
Academic Achievement
In The Mount Sixth Form girls are free to pursue academic excellence in any subject, free from gender sterotypes. The results speak for themselves. In 2024, 83% of A Level grades were A*-B, and The Sunday Times ranked us in the top 10 schools in the North. In the last few years girls from The Mount have gone on to study at top Universities including Newcastle, Edinburgh, Exeter, Imperial College London and Cornell (USA).
Tailored Teaching
You mature so much during your teens, and the way you learn changes too. Our A-Level teaching is designed to empower girls, keeping you inspired and motivated as you get progress. Learning is taught in a way that instinctively clicks. At The Mount, you’re free to dive into any subject that interests you—no limits!
Encouragement in every subject
In The Mount Sixth Form there is no stereotyping, especially when it comes to subject selection. We want our girls to choose the A level courses that suit them and their passions. We champion the educational needs of groups where girls are underrepresented in STEM and major careers. Compared to Co-ed schools girls educated at all-girls school are three times more likely to go on and study STEM careers (GSA research).
Leadership and Role Models
At The Mount girls occupy every role; every lead part in the play, every position in every team, every leadership role. You will have have a wealth of opportunities for self-exploration and development. Our Sixth Form pupils are inspired to take charge and put themselves forward. Sixth Form girls act as role models for our younger students who learn that girls can confidently lead.
Career Aspirations
We are dedicated to helping our pupils flourish during their final school years whilst preparing them for life beyond school. 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 will help them achieve this. Popular courses with Mount girls have been as wide ranging as Engineering, Dentistry, Modern Languages, Medicine, Marketing, Politics, Policing, History and Hotel Management, to name but a few.
