WELCOME
Mount Kelly is an independent school located in Tavistock, Devon, UK. We are a co-educational school for children aged between 4 and 18 offering day, weekly, flexi and full boarding.
The Mount Kelly education stands apart in the values and attitudes of its young men and women. Compassion, tolerance, kindness, integrity, generosity of spirit and a commitment to service underpin a determined dedication to academic excellence.
Mount Kelleians are nurtured by a sensitive rigour in which they are expected to take the risk of being more than what they may think they are, to pick themselves up, and others too, when things do not go their way and in so doing to learn the true nature, joy and responsibility of success.

Congratulations to Jess B after an outstanding performance at the recent Aquathlon Championships, becoming the Under 20 English National Female Champion, as well as taking bronze in the British Under 20 Female Championship. 🏅
Part of the British Triathlon pathway, Aquathlon combines swimming and running and is often a first step towards competing in triathlon.

On 9 August, Lizzy H performed with the @nationalyouthchoir at Lancaster Town Hall, singing Soprano 1 under the direction of conductor Matthew Quinn 🎶
The programme featured a varied and technically demanding selection of contemporary and traditional choral music, giving Lizzy the opportunity to perform alongside some of the UK`s most talented young choral singers.
A fantastic experience and a brilliant achievement, Lizzy 👏🎵

Mount Kelly pupils have excelled once again, successfully navigating the UCAS process and securing places at their chosen universities across the UK.
Our newest OMKs will be heading far and wide – from those staying closer to home at the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter, to pupils travelling to Wales to study at Swansea and Cardiff, and further north to the University of Stirling and the University of Edinburgh.
We’re also delighted to see places secured at Leeds and Newcastle, while many pupils will be heading to the University of Bath and Loughborough University. London is well represented too, with pupils gaining places at King’s College London and UCL.
A fantastic achievement and an exciting next chapter for our pupils. We wish all our leavers every success as they take their next steps! 🎉
