Mount Kelly
"Mount Kelly supports every pupil to be the very best version of themselves."
Mount Kelly – it’s the climb.
At Mount Kelly, we believe it’s the climb that shapes character, builds resilience, and inspires ambition. Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, our unique location is the backdrop for an education built on adventures, excellence, and opportunity.
From Pre-Prep through to Sixth Form, Mount Kelly offers a values-led, academically ambitious education that supports every pupil to be the very best version of themselves. Our academic results are strong, and our personalised approach ensures that each pupil is both challenged and supported to achieve their potential.
We are nationally recognised for our elite swimming programme, which has produced Olympic and national champions, and our Girls Football Academy, run in partnership with Chelsea Football Club, provides professional-level training alongside a full academic curriculum. Our 50m London 2012 Olympics legacy pool plus 25m training pool, and bespoke strength and conditioning suite, is an exceptional facility and a hub of energy and aspiration.
The challenge of completing the Kelly 7 whist at Mount Kelly embodies our outdoor ethos and includes the Duke of Edinburgh Awards (Bronze, Silver, and Gold), Ten Tors challenges (35, 45, and 55 miles), and the Devizes to Westminster canoe race (DW). These pursuits, made possible by our incredible location, develop leadership, teamwork, and perseverance in a way that few schools can match.
Creativity thrives here too. Our vibrant Fine Art, Design, Drama, and Music departments offer pupils every opportunity to explore their talents, perform with confidence, and create with purpose.
At the heart of Mount Kelly is a strong sense of community. Our thriving boarding houses are warm, welcoming homes where lifelong friendships are forged, and where pupils of all ages feel known, supported, and encouraged. Outstanding pastoral care underpins everything we do; tutors, houseparents, and staff work closely with families to ensure every pupil is happy, balanced, and able to thrive. Whether day or boarding, every pupil is part of a close-knit community that values kindness, inclusion, and respect.
Whether in the classroom, on the moor, in the pool, on the pitch, or on stage, a Mount Kelly education is an invitation to discover all that is possible. Please take a listen to some of our pupils in the short videos to hear about life at Mount Kelly.
