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.

Last week, our musicians took part in a joint charity concert at The Bedford Hotel with Tavistock College in support of Parkinson’s UK, raising an incredible £2,000.

Last weekend’s Camp Tavy sleepover was a brilliant success! 🏕️
Boarders and day pupils came together for an evening of energetic games, fireside s’mores, and plenty of hot chocolate before settling in for a movie marathon together.
The house was full of laughs and smiles from start to finish. It was a fantastic evening and the perfect way to bring everyone together!💙

Last weekend, Old Mount Kellians from across the generations returned to the School for a day of golf, cricket, tours and a black-tie dinner - and what a celebration it was. 🎉
From a superb 1st XI T20 victory to an extraordinary address from Lewis Pugh (OMK 1978–1980), one of the world`s great ocean pioneers, OMK Day reminded us of everything that makes our community so special. 💙
