Over the last two academic years they have shown great flexibility – seamlessly switching from remote learning to in-class lessons and back again. This agility will stand them in great stead for the future. Well done girls.  We look forward to seeing what our girls will go on to achieve next and can’t wait to welcome many of them back to start their A Levels at St Mary’s in September.”
