WHY MOUNT KELLY?

  1. We are an all-round co-educational School, where pupils from the age of 4 to 18 are nurtured, guided and inspired to develop their own individual skills and interests.
  2. We are a School which values strong academic performance and we work tirelessly to maximise the ability of every child.
  3. We are located on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and make every use of our exceptional surroundings to widen our pupils’ experiences.
  4. We are proud to be a close-knit School and there is a special emphasis on individual pastoral care where family values pervade every aspect of school life.
  5. We understand what it takes for our pupils to compete at the top level. Our globally recognised swimming programme is replicated in other fields across the School.
  6. We are a School with a strong sense of service to the community and we also believe it is important to give children a chance to come here who could not otherwise afford to do so.
  7. We are a Christian School, where the importance of tolerance, understanding and kindness are taught with skill and dedication.
  8. We produce happy, confident, well-rounded and ambitious pupils and you will detect a fierce pride in them about being part of Mount Kelly.

ACADEMIC

We are very proud of the consistently strong public examination results achieved by our pupils, demonstrating clearly that a key priority at Mount Kelly is the fulfilment of academic potential.

We combine high expectations with accurate monitoring of progress, carefully considered enrichment activities and individually tailored support to ensure that every child, across the ability range, meets and often exceeds those expectations.

In Years 7 and 8 our pupils study at the Prep moving seamlessly to the College in Year 9. The academic programme for these year groups is designed to enrich and extend and to encourage debate, critical thinking and the exploration of new ideas. We aim to instil good work habits that will provide a strong foundation from which to progress to GCSE.

The importance of independent learning is fundamental to teaching styles throughout the School.

ACADEMIC

We believe that A Levels provide the most effective route for our pupils to study at the top universities in the country. Expert support from a dedicated team of staff eases the application process to university and the majority of our pupils are accepted by their first choice institution.

The academic curriculum is strengthened and broadened by a programme of lectures, off site excursions, links with Plymouth and Exeter Universities and the opportunity to study the Extended Project Qualification. The importance of independent learning is fundamental to teaching styles throughout the School. However, in the Sixth Form, increasing independence is encouraged and the pupils learn to work autonomously whilst enjoying the safety net provided by dedicated academic staff and unrivalled pastoral care.

Our Head of Sixth Form, Miss Callard is always available to advise and assist with career choices and global university applications and she is well supported by a team of dedicated Tutors.
