Mount St Mary’s College

Mount St Mary’s College is steeped in history and situated within the beautiful rural settings of North Derbyshire, but yet only 2 hours away from London by train and 1.5 hours from Manchester. If driving, it is only two miles from J30 of the M1 and within 1.5 hours of major airports.

Mount St Mary’s College offers a demanding academic curriculum of GCSEs and A Levels, whilst at the same time placing equal value in developing the whole individual through sporting, musical and cultural opportunities. Pastoral care is a strength in this Catholic school that welcomes local, national and international pupils of all denominations. 

The College is a coeducational day and boarding school with a large number of our pupils coming from the immediate locality. All students participate in a Saturday morning activities programme with many sporting fixtures taking place on a Saturday afternoon. Each Sunday boarders attend mass before all taking part in an organised excursion taking in a wide variety of venues and locations. Boarding facilities are of a high standard, with the vast majority having en-suites. Other facilities include an international standard athletics track, indoor swimming pool, recital hall, fully-equipped theatre and drama studio.

Keeping with the Jesuit ethos, which underpins the educational approach of the School, Mount St Mary’s College works to celebrate the talents of each individual child. Each year pupils go on to secure places at top universities both in the UK and overseas.
