An Independent Catholic Girls School

Amongst leading Hampstead Schools, we are an all-girls prep school for ages 2 ½ – 11 Years

I am delighted to welcome you to St Mary’s School, Hampstead, a school that provides a sense of belonging to each and every girl from Nursery through to Year 6.

We pride ourselves on our family-feel and the sense of community and ethos that are so tangible as soon as you walk through the front door. Every individual is valued and known, allowing the girls in our care to develop and flourish.

We firmly believe that a happy child will naturally become a successful child and we therefore take academic rigour and our varied curriculum as seriously as we do our pastoral care.”
