We’re here to offer bespoke support and connections.
Mount girls have gone on to do incredible things like voluntary work overseas, working at ski resorts, studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), attending Policing College, and Norland College for Early Years’ Childcare Development. More recently, girls have achieved apprenticeships in Business Management at Greencore and Costume Design at The Royal Shakespeare Company.
