St. Mary’s ranked among top 5 UK Prep Schools

We are delighted to announce that St. Mary’s has been featured in the top 5 best UK prep schools in the Catholic Good Schools Guide 2024, published by the Catholic Herald! This recognition is testament to our commitment to delivering an outstanding and inspirational education for girls aged 2 ½ to 11 years.

While rooted in Catholic values and tradition, we proudly welcome families of all faiths and none. Our inclusive approach sustains a warm, friendly environment where every girl is supported to grow academically, spiritually and personally.

The guide also includes a lovely Q&A with our Headmistress, Charlotte Owen. As Miss Owen says, “we are a rare blend of nurture, community and strong values, alongside excellent academic results and 11+ destination schools”.

St. Mary’s is honoured to be acknowledged for our dedication to excellence, and we look forward to continuing our exceptional education for girls to become curious and confident learners, and leaders of the future.
