What the school inspection says

“St Mary’s College is a highly ambitious school. This ambition can be seen in all areas of the curriculum. Leaders have identified specific ‘golden threads’ around which they have designed the curriculum. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to ensure that pupils flourish. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send), make exceptional academic progress … Pupils are thoroughly prepared for life in modern Britain. Personal development runs through all aspects of school life. Pupils have meaningful opportunities to be active citizens through roles such as personal, social and health education ambassadors, Agape ambassadors, and Shakespeare representatives. Pupils have access to a wide variety of extracurricular activities. These include an extensive sporting offer, an international film club and a geo-marine club.”
