Headmistress
Since 2016, Harriet Connor-Earl (40s), previously director of studies and boarding housemistress at Ardingly College Prep School, Sussex. BA in RE from Brighton. Started her career at a state secondary school in Haywards Heath before a stint in New York teaching at St Columbia Elementary School: ‘I taught grade 8, but a lot of the expectation was teaching to test, so you couldn’t be creative.’ She still enjoyed the experience.

Special Education Needs
St Mary’s School has a thriving Learning Support Department. When a pupil is identified as having SEN, we take action to remove barriers to learning and put effective special educational needs provision in place. Quality First Teaching remains our first response in relation to the identification of SEN, but we also ensure that the child receives high quality additional support and interventions carefully matched to their needs. Pupils receive maximum support to develop and encourage their potential and specialist teachers offer small groups or individual 1:1 lessons. Through consultation with the form teacher and parents, a flexible strategy of support is formulated. A strong link between the school and the parents is encouraged and this partnership is seen as invaluable for the child’s continued development.
