Welcome to Mount St Mary’s College and Barlborough Hall School. We hope that as you read more about “The Mount” as it is affectionately known, you will gain insight into just what it is that makes this such a special place to learn, live and work – a sense of our well-known 'Mount Spirit'!
Set in impressive grounds, The Mount is an idyllic place for children to grow into the fullness of our Jesuit vision, becoming good 'Men and Women for Others' from the moment they join us at Barlborough Hall School aged three through to the end of Sixth Form at the Mount at 18. Our two schools are a mere 10 minutes' drive apart on either side of the M1 motorway…not that you would notice from our blissfully rural locations. Students are welcome to join our Preparatory or Senior school at any point in their educational journey, much like our international students who board from the age of 11 upwards.
