Mount Carmel
Mount Carmel RC Technology College for Girls is an innovative college with a strong culture of hard work, co-operation and achievement, providing important opportunities for personal development and success. We are a small family-like college with high standards and expectations; a purposeful community in which all students can enjoy their learning and achieve their very best. Our students are ambitious, bright and creative individuals with a spirit of ownership and pride in their environment. We work hard to ensure that all have the support and resources they need to leave Mount Carmel as confident and responsible young women, ready for their next step in life and education.
The College is small when compared to other secondary schools (approximately 700 students) and this gives the College a distinctive family feel. Its ethos is based on the Christian values of the Gospels of respect and love that many parents choose this for their daughters because although many students who attend are not Catholic they want an education based on Faith values
Mount Carmel is a faith based community where students can go forward to take their place in society as educated, confident and courageous young women.

Principal's Message
Mount Carmel’s Sixth Form is at City and Islington College, so your daughter has a guaranteed place at ‘London’s Leading College’ which already has partnership agreements with a number of universities including University College London. For example, Negin Damali is an ex-student of Mount Carmel who completed her sixth form course at City and Islington College and is now in her second year of Medicine at University College London.
