There is a great deal to celebrate at St Mary's this A Level results day. Nearly three quarters of all grades were awarded at A*-B.

Twelve subjects achieved 100% of grades at A*-B, and students taking Latin, French, Spanish and Photography achieved 100% A* grades. In English Literature, 60% of grades were awarded at A*.

Our Year 13 students are heading to universities including Cambridge, St Andrews, Durham, LSE, UCL and Warwick, to read subjects ranging from Law, Chemistry and Computer Science to Classics, History, Pharmacy and Theatre Studies.

Congratulations to every one of them. We could not be prouder, and we can't wait to see what they achieve next.

As our Year 13 students countdown to their A Level results day, they're looking ahead to exciting futures filled with purpose and possibility.

Here are some of our girls and their aspirations ➡️

We're proud to have been part of their journey and look forward to seeing the incredible impact they'll make on the world.

Go, Go, Go!⚫⚪

Our annual St Mary's Go Tournament welcomed 32 players from 17 schools, with competitors aged 6 to 15 taking part. From beginners to advanced players, the tournament was a celebration of problem-solving, perseverance and sportsmanship.

A huge thank you to Mrs Peck, founder of the tournament, alongside Paul Smith from the British Go Association and Bruno Poltronieri, captain of the UK's European Go team, for making the event such a success.

Congratulations to everyone who took part - we're already looking forward to next year's tournament!

🏛️ Victoriae!🏆

Congratulations to our talented Year 8 and 9 Latin students, who took first place in this year's Ludi Scaenici Latin play competition!

Writing, directing and performing an original play is impressive enough - but our students did it entirely in Latin. Their retelling of the myth of 'King Midas' wowed the judges, who praised the cast's expressive performances, teamwork and outstanding Latin pronunciation.

We were also delighted to host the competition at St Mary's for the first time in its 46-year history, welcoming students from The P***e School and Stephen P***e Foundation for a wonderful celebration of classics, creativity and performance.

Congratulations to all our performers and everyone who helped make the event such a memorable success. Bene factum! 👏

Last term, our History students travelled to Ypres to deepen their understanding of the First World War. 🌹

From visiting historic battlefields and cemeteries to reflecting at the Menin Gate, the trip brought history vividly to life, giving students a powerful insight into the events, sacrifices and stories that shaped our world.

We've been Commended for Student Careers at the 2026 Independent Schools of the Year Awards! 🏆

Careers education at St Mary's starts at age three and keeps going right through to Upper Sixth. From our biggest ever Careers Fair this year, to work experience placements, Money Matters workshops and alumnae who come back to show our girls what's possible, it all comes back to one belief – girls deserve to explore every opportunity before deciding which path to follow.

Congratulations and thank you to our stellar careers team. Fingers crossed for the Finalists announcement on 10 September 🤞

Year 8 enjoyed four fantastic days in Dorset on our joint Geography and History field trip 🌊📍

From exploring the dramatic coastline at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door to investigating coastal management in Swanage, visiting Corfe and Lulworth Castles, and discovering Dorset's role in the D-Day landings at Fort Henry, pupils immersed themselves in hands-on learning every step of the way.

Supported by our brilliant A Level Geography Young Leaders, it was a memorable trip full of discovery, teamwork and fun.

A trip down the rabbit hole!🌹🐇

Our Lower School students brought the magic of ‘Alice in Wonderland' to life in a wonderfully imaginative and humorous production.🎭

With a 75-strong cast and crew, the performance was a joyful celebration of creativity, storytelling and teamwork. From Alice’s adventures through Wonderland to the brilliantly inventive props capturing her journey, every detail helped transport audiences into Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary world.👏
