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.

Our GCSE Art and DT pupils enjoyed an inspiring day at the Eden Project! ✏
Exploring the spectacular grounds, pupils took inspiration from the striking architecture, statues and diverse plant life, developing their sketching skills and capturing textures, shapes and details to inspire their GCSE coursework.
A fantastic way to spark creativity and kick-start the academic year! ✏🌸

The Mount Kelly Model United Nations Sixth Form Delegation is officially locked in for the Oxford MUN Global Voices Conference this November!✨
This week, our delegates confirmed their committees and countries, ready to represent a diverse cross-section of the Model United Nations, from the Security Council and World Food Programme to the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.
Now the preparation begins. Pupils are writing their position papers and grappling with some of the toughest challenges facing our planet. Along the way, they’re developing the confidence to question, think critically and engage openly with different perspectives.
These qualities are at the heart of the Global Voices ethos: challenging assumptions, asking bold questions and approaching complex global issues with intellectual openness and care.
Oxford, here we come! 🇺🇳
