St Mary's School

Many girls join us in the nursery and stay with us through to gaining A levels at 18, before moving on to university. During their time with us, our aim is to build their academic and personal confidence. We offer them a stimulating and challenging curriculum both academically within the classroom, and socially through a range of extracurricular activities, which ensure that they develop the life skills so essential to success in the modern world. Whether in our more modern teaching blocks housing the Junior House, Science department and Sixth Form, or in the traditional magnificence of Orche Hill House, the central core of the school, parts of which date back several centuries, you will find a wealth of resources and facilities, academic and technological, to support the girls learning. We want our girls to leave us fully equipped to take their place in the world of tomorrow.
