A very warm welcome to Mount House, a co-educational, independent senior school for 11-18-year olds in leafy Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire. 
Successful schools are about the personal development of each child as an individual. This includes their academic qualifications, but just as important is development of the skills of leadership, teamwork and collaboration, resilience and self-awareness which will allow them to enjoy success, happiness and fulfilment in their adult lives. In a changing world, Mount House students find a sense of purpose, where they are supported and encouraged to have an open mind and immerse themselves in school life.
At Mount House, students combine endeavour with an enthusiastic engagement which extends well beyond the classroom. We are committed to providing the highest quality of education with breadth and balance for all. With a maximum capacity of 350 students, we are a small school with a significant sense of community. We encourage our students to aim high, to work hard to be the best they can be – whether it’s in the examination hall, on the sports field, or on the stage. Small classes and tutor groups where students will receive individual attention are critical to creating those opportunities, and this allows us to guide each student so that they, in turn, can contribute to the creation of a stimulating and supportive community.
Mount House is a place of learning, discovery, laughter and friendship – a place where students want to be. I consider it a great privilege to be able to lead a unique school which is able to offer such a wonderful educational experience.
Thank you for considering Mount House School for your son or daughter. I hope you will find our website useful and I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
