Mount Kelly

If you like the outdoors, have a sense of adventure and are keen to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way then Mount Kelly is the school for you. Our spectacular location means that we are well known for our strong commitment to co-curricular activities and we encourage all pupils to take part whether it be camping out on the moor, paddling a canoe, riding the waves on a surf board or enjoying an overnight sail in our 50 foot pilot cutter ‘Olga’.

With a high standard of academic schooling and a proven track record in public examination results over 85% of our pupils gain places at their top choice of universities.
The School has an internationally recognised swimming programme with a 4 lane 25m pool and an 8 lane 50m pool and has had alumni at the last five Olympic and Paralympic games. 

The College Chamber Choir is the flagship ensemble of the School. The group perform a wide range of challenging music, but mostly a cappella. They won the Barnardo’s School Choir of the Year Competition in London in 2020, and compete internationally every year.

Our Sixth Form Girls’ Football Academy in association with Chelsea FC Foundation opened in September 2021 and almost immediately became the ISF Sevens U18 champions.

The success of our swimmers, footballers and singers create a culture in which the level of commitment and dedication required to excel are not considered out of the ordinary but are qualities to which everyone can aspire.
