What the school says...

St. Mary’s fosters an environment for each and every girl to reach their full academic and personal potential, with a focus on generating a love of learning and enquiring minds. A wide variety of subjects allows girls to pursue their talents with Drama, Art and Music available at A level, alongside all the traditional subjects. Academic success means that girls progress to a range of universities from Oxford, Exeter and Imperial College London to Royal Holloway and the Central School of Speech and Drama. All of this is achieved within an environment that considers, and works with, the individual to enable them to reach their goals; combined with an outstanding system of pastoral care this means each girl develops the confidence and self esteem to thrive and succeed. A broad selection of extra-curricular activities ensures that the girls emerge as genuinely well rounded, self-assured young women. ...Read more

Overall school performance (for comparison or review only)

Independent schools frequently offer IGCSEs or other qualifications alongside or as an alternative to GCSE. The DfE does not record performance data for these exams so independent school GCSE data is frequently misleading; parents should check the results with the schools.
