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.

Tartan is officially in, which means our kilts are more fashionable than ever!
We spotted OMK Leah Whittaker giving her Mount Kelly kilt a stylish second life in a recent modelling shoot, proving that the Mount Kelly kilt never goes out of style.

Huge congratulations to our 35, 45 and 55-mile teams who have all crossed the Ten Tors finish line today.
It`s been a demanding weekend on Dartmoor, requiring a lot of resilience from everyone involved. The 35`s and 45`s both stayed on track to hit their camping targets, while the 55`s put in a big late-night push to beat the 10pm cutoff at Higher White Tor.
Every team has worked incredibly hard to complete their route, and it`s great to see all three teams safely home after an unforgettable weekend on the moor.
