Aims & Ethos
At St Mary’s, our vision is to empower girls to thrive at St Mary’s and beyond.
Using our expertise in educating girls and the latest research, we empower girls by inspiring them to see the world as one of limitless possibilities and by equipping them with the knowledge, experiences and skills needed to thrive at St Mary’s and beyond. We do this in an environment designed specifically for girls. One that is safe in every respect – to experiment and question, to take risks and follow passions, to innovate and lead. One that is free from judgement and stereotypes, and full of respect and support.
