About the school
St Mary’s is quite simply a wonderful school. The experience of each individual student is at the heart of all that we do. Our warm and inspiring environment encompasses a supportive framework where our students, whether in Pre-Prep, Prep, Senior House or Sixth Form, are encouraged to take risks, be creative, think for themselves, learn to make good choices and to embrace a challenge.
All of our students are encouraged to aim for excellence in all of their pursuits, to be kind to each other and look for opportunities to make a difference in the wider world. Students here ‘dream big’ we prepare our students for their future lives and careers to be compassionate, caring and confident young women.
The opportunities at St Mary’s, including those for leadership and co-curricular activities, are wide ranging, the academic and pastoral focus unsurpassed and the ability to tailor your daughter’s education unrivalled.
Our website can only give you a brief insight into our wonderful school, I do hope you will come and meet us to discuss all that we can offer your daughter.
