Mount House School Prospectus

Our aim is to make the admissions process as simple as possible. The steps below show the process you will go through on your journey to Mount House.

Step 1: Visit Mount House

We encourage prospective parents and students to see our school during one of our Open Mornings or for interest in occasional/ immediate places, request a personal tour.  Details and dates to book are here

Step 2: Register your application

To start the formal application for a place at Mount House School all families will need to complete an online registration form and pay a registration fee of £100 (£350 for international applicants). Please have your child’s latest school report ready to upload.

Step 3: Family Interview

Parents will receive an invitation for you and your son or daughter to come to Mount House for a family interview with our Head, Mrs Richardson. This is a chance for you to ask any questions you may have and for the Head get to know you and your child better.

Step 4: Entrance Assessments

Prospective Year 7 students will be invited to sit our Entrance Assessments in the January before they are due to start at Mount House. We assess potential students to determine their current academic level and how we can help them to fulfil their potential.  There are assessments in English, Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning and applicants will also have a short one-to-one discussion with a senior teacher to talk about an interest or treasured item which they will be asked to bring in with them.

Our next Entrance Assessments dates can be viewed here.

Entry into the Sixth Form is by interview and achievement at GCSE level. The minimum entry requirement is five passes at Grades 9 – 6, with a minimum of Grade 7 in the chosen A Level subjects. Candidates who have not taken GCSEs will be asked to sit an Assessment Test.

Step 5: Offer Of A Place

Following the Entrance Assessments, places are offered as soon as possible. Offers are usually sent out at the end of January with an acceptance deadline of the beginning of March.
