Our students are the best advertisement for what we achieve at St Mary’s. They will tell you that we are ambitious and we settle for nothing less than the best. This is drawn from our Mission as a Catholic college: “To Love and Serve Christ Within Us All.” Continually challenging ourselves to do even better for our students has underpinned our rapid improvement at GCSE level. Excellent academic results are vital but we are equally committed to the personal spiritual, moral and social education of our students. We offer an exceptional programme of enrichment opportunities with fantastic opportunities both at home and abroad. Our size is a great strength of the college. It enables us to offer a breadth of curriculum choice that is the envy of other schools. Our pastoral care is judged by external agencies as an example of excellent practice.
