    What is 8 + 7



    St Mary’s Preparatory School

    At St. Mary’s, our ethos is very simple, to instil a love of learning for life in all our pupils. Our small class sizes ensure that children benefit from an individualised approach to their learning, supported by our outstanding teaching staff who approach every lesson with enthusiasm.  Proud of our reputation for delivering academic excellence, the attainment of St. Mary’s pupils is above national age-related expectations in all subjects, and our more able pupils are challenged and stretched with a range of classroom work and additional activities. Parents comment on the wonderful feeling of community and family at St. Mary’s, and our children thrive in an atmosphere of tolerance and respect.
