Description

Mount House School is an independent co-educational day school for pupils from 11 to 18

Facilities

Sixth Formers have a dedicated space exclusively for their use, comprising a Common Room, a Study Room and some class rooms. It’s an environment similar to which they will become accustomed once at university, and in it they are able to study, meet with friends and discuss their subjects.

Head Students:

Mount House are proud to have a Head of School Team. This consists of the Head of School and two Deputies. Each year Sixth Formers can put themselves forward to be part of this team, and part of the selection process is to make a presentation to the whole school during assembly.  Every member of the Mount House community, teachers and students, are able to vote.

The Head of School Team’s responsibilities include meeting with students to discuss their ideas for charitable ways to assist the wider community, as well as to provide support to younger students and the whole Mount House community whenever possible.

Study Area:

This room offers Sixth Formers a space to develop their independent learning skills, covering wider reading, homework and university preparation. Use of this space is really important in the early months of Sixth Form as students learn to use their time effectively. As this time management develops, they begin to enjoy further freedoms as they manage their commitments to academic study, leadership, co-curricular activity as well as their commitments outside of school. The Study has a small suite of computers and its own printer and photocopier exclusively for Sixth Form use. It is open from 7:30am until 6pm for students to use in their spare periods, or before and after school.

Common Room:

This area is for Sixth Formers only and if you are meeting with a student for whom you are a Peer Mentor, this should occur in the main school.  There is a microwave as well as tea and coffee making facilities and a refrigerator.

The Sixth Form has had three recent additions to it, in the form of Alpha, Beta and Gamma, the Sixth Form goldfish. Their tank is in the Common Room and is a communal responsibility.
