No wonder we’re smiling! 45% A*-A Grades for our A-Level pupils this morning and university places secured. Congratulations to all our U6 and staff for their hard work. If you’d like to know more about our fantastic Sixth Form visit our website or call Admissions on 02084474959.

The headline in today's Times highlights only too well some issues that remain within our examination system. Read the Mount House Points of Principal blog at mounthouse.org.uk/principal-s-bl… for the full story.

One of the notes of thanks following today’s GCSE results breakfast: ‘I’d like to thank you all. You all work so hard for all the pupils - it has been reflected in the grades’. To visit MH and see our teachers in action go to mounthouse.org.uk to book your open day space!

mounthouse.org.uk/principal-s-bl… This week's blog is live. Bringing in the more rigorous GCSEs was supposed to halt the ‘grade inflation’, that has reduced the credibility of the results, and prepare pupils better for their 6th form courses. The new examinations have achieved neither!

Today's assembly was about resilience - one of MH's pillars of learning. Mr Mullins quoted a poem by Walter Wintle, which reads: "Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” #MondayMotivation
