St Mary's Calne girls celebrate superb A Level results
The girls at St Mary’s Calne have achieved some excellent A Level results, with 64% of the entries graded A*-A, an impressive 21% graded A* and 43% of the girls being awarded all A*/As. In addition, all of the girls who held Oxbridge offers secured their places and almost 90% gained their first choice of university. There were strong performances across all subjects, particularly Further Maths (100% A*), Art (86% A*), Politics (57% A*), Latin (50% A*), History (29% A*) and Physics (25% A*).
On a glorious summer day (29th June) the warmest of the year so far, the whole school gathered to celebrate Founders’ Day.
On what was undoubtedly the hottest day of June and possibly of the whole summer, the Founders’ Day Marquee was rapidly transformed from a prize giving marquee into a sensational “Secret Garden” for the annual UVI Leavers' Lily Ball.
We are delighted to invite you to a very special event on Friday 13th September 2019, from 7pm, when the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne will be hosting a drinks party at their home, with all proceeds going to the St Mary’s Calne Bursary Fund.
On Thursday, 27th June, 24 excited UIV (Year 9) girls, or rather, gods, goddesses, kings, a princess and princes, a vengeful granddaughter of the Sun and a beautiful Evil, all travelled to Bristol Grammar School for the annual Festival of Latin Drama

Our Fourth Form girls brought the dramatic year at St Mary's to a terrific end, with their full-strength, high energy productions of the junior musical versions of Aladdin (LIV - Year 7) and Beauty and the Beast (MIV - Year 8). Lasting just over an hour each, the scripts cut much of the dialogue from the 'official' versions, but still retained most of the narrative and all of the well-loved characters, so provided a real challenge that all the actors passed with flying colours (and carpets!).
The independent Schools Tennis Association (ISTA) Championships were held at Eton College over four days, hosting players of all abilities, boys and girls. This tournament always creates a great environment for the best players to compete and the young players to get inspired and this year proved no different. 
On Monday 24th June, we were delighted to welcome back 2013 Leaver, Dr Alice Pennington. 
Sunday 23rd June saw the girls of St Cecilia’s House (Year 9) heading to Cirencester Park Polo Club for our last outing as a House. We enjoyed learning the basics of polo from the top of very tame wooden horses, while appreciating the grace and beauty of some very real ponies being prepared by grooms, near to our picnic spot.
