St Mary’s School CAMBR IDGE
here is some truth to the often-repeated idea that talking to plants can help them grow. What’s more, kind words achieve the best results. So, what would a plant look like if it lay at the heart of a community, enveloped in nurturing and supportive voices for hundreds of years? The answer to that question lies at the centre of the courtyard at St Mary’s School, the leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged three to 18 in Cambridge. There, our magnolia tree grows tall and strong from over a century of listening to our dedicated teachers, passionate students and thriving school community. Like our magnolia tree, students also thrive at St Mary’s, where we have been specialising in educating girls since 1898. Our inspiring environment, state-of- the-art facilities and dedicated teachers encourage every girl to reach her fullest potential – a fact proven by our students’ confidence, academic performances and close-knit community. Every aspect of life and education at St Mary’s School is tailored to build skills and confidence. Small classes ensure that every pupil receives the personalised support to boost her potential. Beginning in our Preschool, we give children the right start to education, ensuring that their first experiences spark confidence and curiosity. By Sixth Form, St Mary’s girls leave school knowing that there are no boundaries to what they can achieve. Our balanced, broad curriculum – from arts and languages and STEM subjects, to the humanities and sport – instils in students a love of learning, reflected by high academic attainment across subjects. Our results are testimony to the individual support that St Mary’s girls receive, as 97% of our graduating A Level students attend their first-choice university course this year.
