St Mary’s offers girls a wonderful education in a warm environment. The school is renowned for its friendly motivated pupils and caring staff, allied with an enviable reputation for bringing out the best in girls, whatever their talents and abilities.
Scholarships celebrate excellence and provide students with opportunity to develop their talents. At St Mary’s, in keeping with the ethos of the school, scholars are also expected to act as role models in their chosen field, and to work positively to promote their subject to their peers, thus fostering a love of learning amongst the wider school community.
