Our Senior School staff are experts at teaching girls, they understand how girls learn and flourish. Our Junior School staff specialise in teaching and inspiring young minds.

Our Governing Body
At The Mount, we have a committed board of governors who play a vital role in the ongoing development of the School. The main role of the governing body (which we call Committee) is to oversee the way the school is run, both in terms of day-to-day practicalities and ethos. As a charity, Mount governors are also trustees.
