A-Levels and GCSEs on offer.
Mount Kelly School is non-selective, yet achieved a very respectable 37% A grades at A-Levels and 36% 9-7 grades at GCSEs in 2023. This is in no small part due to the good pupil-to-teacher ratio of 10:1, as well as dedicated teachers and a highly supportive learning environment.
60% of pupils are boarders, so this is a proper boarding school.
The school's four boarding houses were refurbished last year and are now cozy, complete with shared study-bedrooms and spaces for boarders and day pupils to mingle during the day for excellent integration.
Exeat weekends exist but are not compulsory.
Mount Kelly School’s many outdoors activities are excellent. Located right by the amazing Dartmoor, pupils can go horseback-riding, mountain-biking, sea canoeing, white-water kayaking, rock-climbing, caving and sailing. This trains pupils endurance and resilience and allows them to forge friendships for life.
Mount Kelly School has some of the UK's best swimming provision. Alumni of Mount Kelly School have won 7 Olympic Swimming medals and the school recently added an 8 lane, 50 metre swimming pool to further enhance its Performance Swimming offering. No doubt, the school to be if swimming is your thing!
Mount Kelly School is a warm, friendly place with a very close-knit school community. Truly a place where everyone is and feels welcome!
Getting there can be a shlep! But it is so, so worth it!
