The judges praised our innovative practice and dedication to mentoring, and we are proud that St Mary’s has been recognised for this accolade.

We are thrilled to receive this award and would like to thank everyone involved in making mentoring such an important and valued part of life at St. Mary’s.

Welcome to St Mary’s School, Hampstead

Our school strives to nurture an active partnership between home, school, parish, and the wider North London community. Situated in one of London’s most affluent and scenic areas, our school is an excellent choice for families in North London who want their daughters to receive an outstanding education in a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place.

“Our St Mary’s Way is the spirit by which we live: to treat other people as you would like to be treated, to do your best to be your best, to be honest and truthful, to listen to each other, to be kind and helpful, to forgive, and to share.”

Charlotte Owen, Headmistress
