St Mary's School, Cambridge — the school grounds

We empower girls to aim high, to follow their dreams and to make a positive contribution to society. Set in the heart of Cambridge, we warmly welcome girls aged 3 to 18 into our happy, diverse school community as day pupils or boarders. Founded in 1898, we have a proud history of educating girls.

At St Mary's School every student is valued, supported and inspired. We empower our girls to aim high - not just in exams, but in life. As a Mary Ward School, Christian values such as integrity, justice, hard work and freedom sit at the heart of our forward-looking education.

From collaboration and risk-taking to independent thinking, concern for society and perseverance - a St Mary's education develops a breath of key skills and attitudes proven to prepare young people for study and life beyond.

St Mary's School, Cambridge — around the school

What the school is known for? We are renowned for our academic excellence and superb pastoral care. We foster a love of learning, that comes from within. Drawing on the psychology of Intrinsic Motivation, our approach encourages students to discover what motivates them.

They learn because they enjoy it. Driven by an internal sense of achievement, young people take responsibility for their own behaviour and future. They want to do well for themselves - because it feels good - rather than seeking external rewards or avoiding punishment.
