We offer a balanced and creative education, in the liberal tradition, rooted in our timeless Christian values. School life is full of opportunity and joy: every day I see horizons expand and friendships flourish.

Our girls leave us equipped with the knowledge and skills, qualities and values they need to lead a life which benefits others, as well as finding their own self-fulfilment.

From studying Physics at Oxford, Music at Cambridge, Biological Sciences at Durham, Chemical Engineering at Imperial, History at Leeds and Economics at LSE … whatever future path a girl chooses we believe that: YES SHE CAN. I warmly invite you to visit us to find out more about life at St Mary’s School.

Why choose St Mary’s St Mary’s girls are safe Safety and security is a priority across all our sites. Our security systems, and highlytrained on-site staff, mean that parents and guardians can take comfort in feeling reassured that each girl is well looked after.

YES SHE CAN

From our Cambridge location and academic results, to our extra-curricular opportunities and inspiring role models – there are many reasons to choose us.

Our 17th century foundress, Mary Ward dedicated her life to educating girls – believing that ‘by God’s grace women in time to come will do much’. A belief that ‘Yes She Can’ still beats at the heart of St Mary’s and we encourage each girl to be and do all she can.

St Mary’s girls aim high As a High Performance Learning school, we teach skills and attitudes proven to help young people to aim high – not just in exams, but in life.

St Mary’s girls set no limits Here, everything is for girls: leadership, science, mathematics, sport... our girls break down gender stereotypes, pursuing their goals free of limitation.

Mary Ward lived a life of integrity, courage and love. As a role model for our girls, her achievements provide a core moral and spiritual foundation for life at St Mary’s School.

St Mary’s girls have integrity As a Mary Ward School, our education is built on our Catholic heritage, which places timeless values such as integrity, justice and compassion at the heart of everyday school life.

Why choose St Mary’s

Cambridge – renowned seat of learning We live and learn in a city famous for its education, innovation and world-changing ideas. Our Senior School, Sixth Form and Mary Ward House offer stunning views and proximity to Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Our Junior School looks out on the idyllic meadowland of Coe Fen. We can offer a chaperoned minibus service for airport transfers and school runs.

Enriched learning From viewing art at the Fitzwilliam Museum to theatre performances and designing apps with tech-innovators at ARM, meeting academics and researchers from the University of Cambridge or medics from Addenbrooke’s, Cambridge’s world-class teaching hospital, our girls are immersed in Cambridge life and the unique learning opportunities it offers.

We also use city and University of Cambridge facilities for sport and music, such as rowing on the River Cam or performing at the University’s impressive West Road Concert Hall.

Living in Cambridge Cambridge is a vibrant city and every weekend, boarders enjoy organised activities – from punting on the River Cam, eating cream teas in the orchard at Granchester, visiting the Scott Polar Institute, to attending Evensong in King’s College Chapel and Ely Cathedral. stmaryscambridge.co.uk/cambridge

STEM in Cambridge STEM* students access the University of Cambridge’s research labs and departments. Female undergraduates from the University, also visit us to encourage our girls to pursue STEM degrees and careers. *Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics 6

St Mary’s approach Our approach to learning helps young women to thrive – in their academic studies and life beyond St Mary’s.

Skills and attitudes From Junior School to Sixth Form, girls develop skills and attitudes proven to support academic achievement – such as confidence, agile-thinking, collaboration, risk-taking and perseverance, alongside values including empathy and compassion. stmaryscambridge.co.uk/hpl

Individuality Our very small class sizes ensure every girl has access to the attention she deserves. By getting to know each individual girl, we offer exactly the right balance of support, inspiration and challenge she needs to succeed.

Happiness The happiness of our girls is a key priority, as we believe young people achieve more when they are happy in school. Our exceptional pastoral care is tailored to suit girls, providing support that evolves with each stage of their development. stmaryscambridge.co.uk/ourapproach

SHE

CAN

We encourage and inspire each girl, focusing on nurturing their natural talents and interests – across a broad, engaging curriculum.

Discover new talents

Learning experience

At every stage, we offer opportunities to extend learning and broaden horizons. This includes a variety of extra-curricular clubs, workshops, visits and residential trips, and academic enrichment activities including guest speakers and national level competitions.

In the classroom, we tailor our approach to suit students’ preferred learning styles. Lessons are interactive and collaborative, and students form strong, mutually respectful working relationships with their peers and their teachers.

Students experience a variety of methods – from teacher-led discussion, group work and independent study. Technology enhances learning and girls use Chromebooks, with pre-approved apps to collaborate and engage with their studies.

Homework is meaningful, with teachers available before and after school, or at morning break and lunchtime to support girls in their work. Boarders complete their homework with support at Mary Ward House, at the end of the school day.

The support from teachers is great, we have tracking and monitoring with our tutor every week, and they will talk to us about university applications – it’s helpful to have someone who can give us advice.

Make a difference School life is full of opportunities in leadership, service and enterprise. These provide different ways to make positive changes in the world, and enable our girls to realise the power they have to stand up for what they believe in.

Excel in sport We encourage all our girls to lead healthy, active lives and sport is integral to our curriculum. In partnership with Homerton College, University of Cambridge our ambitious Long Road sports facilities include: two AstroTurf pitches, netball and tennis courts, athletics track, cricket green and field facilities, plus a pavilion with physio room, kitchen and changing rooms.

In partnership with Homerton College and the City of Cambridge Rowing Club, we have a boathouse on the River Cam, which enables our girls to enjoy rowing during the week and at weekends.

St Mary’s School, Cambridge is an independent school (also known as a ‘public school’ or ‘private school’). We are ‘independent’ of government control, which brings many advantages, including freedom to offer an innovative curriculum, significantly smaller class sizes and a broader choice of subjects.

English Language Support (ELS) ELS lessons can be taken in place of one Modern Foreign Language throughout Senior School. These tailored lessons enable girls to develop language skills which support learning in other subjects and provide a valuable foundation for progressing to GCSE level study in Years 10 and 11.

Boarders and day students Some independent schools offer day or boarding provision only. We have a mixture of day and boarding students, which creates a diverse

school community, enriched by different perspectives from all around the world. Day students return home to their families at the end of each school day; boarders return to our boarding house, Mary Ward House.

Co-education and single-sex schools As a single-sex school, we excel at educating girls.

In the UK, single-sex education has a reputation for academic excellence and our girls experience an environment tailored to their specific needs, in which they pursue their talents free of gender stereotypes. Co-educational schools educate girls and boys together.

Student numbers The average UK independent school has c.400 students. At St Mary’s, we have c.650 students, perfect for offering a breadth of experience, but small enough to support exceptional pastoral care and ensure each individual girl is known.

Boarding FAQs Guardianship Boarders without a family member in the UK require a guardian in the UK. For assistance in selecting a guardian, we recommend using AEGIS. Families must ensure guardianship is in place before girls arrive at St Mary’s.

Boarding options From Year 5, age 9, international students can board on either a full-time or weekly basis.

Full time boarders Full boarders return home for half term and school holidays. Most of our boarders are full time and therefore are in school during weekends in term time.

Weekly boarders Weekly boarders go home at the end of each school week, returning on a Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Guardians have to live within 75 miles of St Mary’s School and be able to come to St Mary’s School at short notice, if necessary. They must be able to host the student in school holidays, or in exceptional circumstances such as illness. Guardians also play a vital role in communicating effectively between parents, school and the student, including attending parents’ evenings and other key events. stmaryscambridge.co.uk/guardianship aegisuk.net

Idyllic Cambridge location New boarding house Supportive ‘big sister’ atmosphere Rapid transport links

Exeat weekends We do not have Exeat weekends. However, boarders can arrange to visit their guardians or go home at the weekend, providing written permission is given to the Housemistress at least 48 hours in advance.

Do boarders have their own rooms?

Year 5 to Year 9 boarders share a room with four or five other girls, girls in Year 10 to Lower Sixth usually share a room with one other student, with Upper Sixth students having single study bedrooms.

Tier 4 Sponsorship We are licensed as a Tier 4 Sponsor by UK Visas and Immigration and offer sponsorship for child student visas for our full time boarders.
