Mount Sixth Form College girls may recently have achieved the highest A Level results in York but they also speak up, climb mountains and party!
Getting the right balance between study and enjoyment is a skill we master, allowing our young women to make lifelong memories whilst achieving the qualifications they so deserve.
There are endless opportunities available to young adults today. Whichever path you choose, by taking part in every aspect of Sixth Form, we are confident you will not only be equipped with excellent results but with the qualities to stand apart from others.
Girls choose our friendly Sixth Form because we offer a personalised experience, not just academically, but also providing opportunities to lead, explore and have fun.
Academically we’re very strong with the highest A Level results in York at 83% A*- B and we’re proudly ranked sixth in the Sunday Times’ Top Independent Schools in the North for Academic Performance.
But it’s not just about classroom learning, an array of activities, leadership opportunities, expeditions, specialised lectures and careers support, provide the time to explore your interests, develop new ones and ignite your passions.
We were recently recognised by school review sites Muddy Stilettos for having an ‘Awesome Sixth Form’ and Talk Education for our excellent ‘Support for Life Beyond School’.
A Levels are where we add value. With the highest A Level results in York at 83% A*- B, and girls often achieving higher grades than predicted, The Mount is one to watch.
With small class sizes, our girls benefit from bespoke teaching. This tutorial-style teaching is the perfect preparation for university. A Level courses are taught by dedicated teachers. Staff get to know pupils’ ambitions and interests and will provide tailored help, essential in the two short years of A Level courses.
They will use their vast networks to organise work experience, invite in esteemed speakers and assist with next steps for education and careers, including detailed UCAS and Oxbridge preparation.
One of the Quaker values we live each day is ‘strive for personal excellence’ and our high-quality Sixth Form offering equips girls to do just that.
College is the perfect place to study and thrive. Relax with friends in our common areas or find your focus in your own private study spaces.
Girls think globally and travel the world. Expeditions to Namibia and East Greenland have seen College pupils explore the world.
Our well-rounded education goes beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of activities and enrichment opportunities.
Our Quaker ethos and enrichment programme equip you with the tools to become responsible, independent, and open-minded thinkers.
The Mount prepares you not just for exams, but for life.
Our pupils achieve amazing results, the highest A*-B in York (83%) with many gaining higher than their predicted grades.
We're ranked 6th in the North for academic performance. Our teachers are dedicated to helping you reach your full potential. Our pupils go on to top universities like Oxford, Newcastle, UCL, Bristol, and more.
The Mount is just the start of your journey into education or apprenticeships and the workplace. Our experienced and attentive teaching team pave the way for a happy and successful future, whatever next steps you choose.
We have a strong ‘Pathway to Success’ where you will receive bespoke guidance - and a tailor-made pupil plan - to set you on your way to pursuing your ambitions.
We are passionate about providing girls with the very best education. Every aspect of the Sixth Form experience is designed to empower young women. We believe there should be no limits to your ambitions.
Our all-girl Quaker ethos will leave you confident of your place in the world.
The Mount recognises talent and excellence through scholarships in Academic, Art, Music, Performing Arts & Sport. Being a scholar opens up extra opportunities for challenge & development.

“Without The Mount, I wouldn’t have run down giant sand dunes, won netball tournaments or learnt new things across the world. I will always live adventurously.”
“My favourite thing about The Mount is how you can be yourself without judgement; you can be so passionate about something, and school encourages you to pursue it and gives you support.”
“The Mount taught me about motivation, drive and hard work. I will remember school as the place I found real friendships, was offered incredible opportunities and flourished in the safest of communities, encouraged by inspirational teachers who genuinely believe in you.”
