She is passionate about the value of living in an international community; she is dedicated to ensuring that all pupils are supported, respected and integrated both academically and socially, so that they may develop to their full potential. She feels hugely privileged to be joining The Mount, Mill Hill International and looks forward to welcoming the first cohort of pupils in September.
Sharon Mitchell joins The Mount, Mill Hill International as Deputy Head (Pastoral), with the additional responsibility of teaching art and textiles. Sharon has over twenty years of experience teaching art and design in Independent Schools. She enjoys using many different media in her art teaching but has a particular interest in textiles in which she gained a BA (hons) degree. During her degree course, Sharon travelled to India and Indonesia where she learnt about different types of textiles, and where she fell in love with the wonderful colours and patterns she saw.
Prior to her post at The Mount, Mill Hill International, Sharon worked at The Mount School as art teacher for fourteen years. Whilst continuing to deliver art lessons, Sharon became Head of Key Stage 4 and later promoted to Deputy Head (Pastoral). Sharon is deeply committed to pastoral care and to establishing an environment in which pupils are happy, secure, confident, respected and valued. She is passionate about creating independent, resilient young people who take the initiative, think creatively and who are not shy of taking risks.
