Welcome to St Mary’s Colchester

We hope that as you explore our website you’ll begin to get a real feel for the unique character of our school. St Mary’s Colchester is an independent school in Essex for girls aged 3-16. We also have a Kindergarten for children aged 3-4. We are proud to have charitable status. This means all fees are reinvested into the school. We are also truly independent, with no owners or shareholders. A committed governing body helps ensure we provide a high-quality and brilliantly balanced education and a happy learning environment.
