Admissions Introduction

Choosing a school for your daughter is an important decision, and we are delighted that you are considering St. Mary’s School.

Girls can join us throughout the school year at age 2 years 6 months, in our Pre-Nursery and Nursery classes. Other points of entry are at 4+ (Reception) and 7+ (Year 3), with occasional places in other year groups considered on an ad-hoc basis.

St. Mary’s empowers girls through academic excellence and moral integrity to become confident, resilient and caring leaders of the future. Our innovative approach to education, maintaining an ethos routed in tradition, is special. Our inspiring and spacious learning spaces enable girls to flourish day-to-day.

We aim to provide girls with the space to discover who they are. Space to learn, play, reflect, and grow. Space to become themselves. They will grow in confidence and independence, and forever pride themselves as a St. Mary’s girl. In joining St. Mary’s, you will become part of a welcoming family, a community network who support each other and assist in sustaining the best possible start for our girls. A St. Mary’s girl goes on to achieve outstanding 11+ results and embark on their next chapter at the best senior schools in the UK.

Prospective parents are warmly encouraged to register with the Head of Marketing & Admissions as early as possible. St Mary’s is an inclusive school and gives priority to Catholic families and siblings. The family-oriented ethos means that all faiths and cultures are warmly welcomed into our community.

Please contact us on 0207 435 1568 or email admissions@stmh.co.uk if you have any questions about the school, the admissions process, or would like to visit and see St. Mary’s in action. You will be most welcome.

I look forward to meeting you and your daughter.

Mr Tom Wood
