About

About St Mary's in this section you can find out all about St Mary's and what makes us special. Our vision is to empower girls to thrive at St Mary's and beyond. Everything we do is driven by our desire to provide a high-quality academic and all-round education for the girls along with excellent pastoral care.

Our website will give you an overview of St Mary's and how we empower girls to thrive. But nothing will give you a better insight into the school and the excellent academic, all-round education and outstanding pastoral care we provide than by visiting us. You can arrange a private tour or reserve a place at an open day or information event .

These events are designed to give you an authentic picture of the school and we welcome families to visit as many times as you would like. Our weekday open days enable you to see the school in action. Our Saturday open days provide a great opportunity to speak to staff as well as pupils. We also hold Empowering Girls events and talks for girls and their families.
