Boarding at St Mary's

Empowering girls since 1898

All Boarders live in beautifully furbished facilities at Mary Ward House.

Boarding life is filled with fun, friendship and laughter; whilst allowing for privacy and quiet moments when needed. Our boarders love living in Cambridge, a culturally vibrant city, with a long history of learning.
