Academic Life

At St Mary’s, girls “make rapid progress in their learning as a result of the high quality teaching they receive and the wide range of curricular and extra-curricular activities provided. The pupils’ achievements are further enhanced by the positive and mature approach they have to their learning and by their excellent behaviour.
Throughout the school, the curriculum is broad and balanced … providing excellent and wide-ranging challenges for all pupils and, in particular, the most able.”
Not our words but those of the ISI inspection report. St Mary's provides a vibrant and varied curriculum that provides the perfect gateway to Higher Education, including Oxbridge places.
