Mount St Mary’s College, a Catholic co-educational boarding and day school, provides the perfect setting for learning.
Steeped in history, the college was established by the Society of Jesuits back in 1842 and grew around a 16th century manor house. Today the historic character of the buildings and the acres of beautiful gardens surrounding them make the college a unique environment.
While there is a long tradition of educating children in the Catholic faith, the school caters for children of all denominations. The emphasis is placed on nurturing each person as an individual, encouraging them to develop, not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally.
The focus on the individual, coupled with small class sizes, means that pupils are given every chance to develop their strengths. Whether their interests are in music, arts, drama or sports, they are offered all the support they need to develop their talents and prepare for their future.
Mount St Mary’s College is well located. Its beautiful setting in the Derbyshire countryside belies the fact it is just two minutes from Junction 30 of the M1 and only 30 minutes from Sheffield and Doncaster railway stations.
Mount St Mary’s College is proudly non-academically selective but still achieves increasingly impressive results with pupils at the Mount leaving for top universities each year.
In 2013, the Mount continued to increase its performance at A level. Some impressive results were gained in traditionally challenging subjects like A level Physics, Biology and Mathematics where 65%-75% of students received A* to B grades, with 91% of Art and Design pupils achieving A* to B.
There is also great emphasis placed on extra-curricular pursuits and pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide programme of organised after school activities. The college has a strong reputation for its music, arts, drama and sport departments and pupils are able to benefit from the top quality facilities even after the last bell of the day has rung.
The amenities include a 400 seater theatre, drama and music studios, an international standard floodlit all-weather athletic track, floodlit all weather hockey and football pitches, indoor heated swimming pool, fencing area and rifle range.
