Optimistic start to the new term at Mount House School
The start of the academic year is always one of optimism, and this year more so than ever. As we welcome new students and staff to school, we relish seeing the students in their smart uniforms – long may that continue! – back at school enjoying seeing their friends and getting on with their learning.
This year the Mount House theme is ‘pride’, in both the original meaning of the word and for all the positive connotations of inclusivity it brings with it. As a school we are proud of our students, especially our exam cohorts who worked hard throughout a challenging 18 months and who have all done themselves proud with their GCSE and A Level results.
As a Head I am also proud of my staff: teachers who have adapted brilliantly to the provision of online, live lessons and have continued to encourage and inspire students. Our support staff have worked hard behind the scenes to prepare the buildings and the grounds for the new school year, and we are thrilled with our new library and our outdoor sports area.
We are a small school, and with that comes opportunity: the opportunity to learn and be inspired in the classroom, the opportunity to engage in a vibrant co-curricular programme and the opportunity to lead. All of these things are vital in enabling our students to feel proud of their achievements, and to know that we and their parents are also proud of them.
