We are an exceptional boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18.
St Mary’s is a place where your daughter will feel appreciated, celebrated, and understood by friends and staff alike. We foster a warm, inclusive environment that embraces individuality and encourages each student to be who they want to be. Kindness and compassion for yourself and others sit at the heart of our ethos.
What makes St Mary’s truly distinctive is our blend of excellence in pastoral care and academic development while supporting our girls in all their endeavours.
We inspire girls to achieve academically, discover and nurture their unique talents, and create lifelong friendships. The school is committed to providing students with an innovative, personalised curriculum that will challenge them as they grow and develop. Through the school’s culture of academic rigour and excellence, Calne girls consistently achieve outstanding results.
We believe in nurturing independent thinkers and responsible citizens, ready to face the future with confidence and purpose. Our students are articulate, confident, and caring who leave us empowered, equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. We encourage our girls to have a voice, to be heard, and to learn from their mistakes, recognising that these experiences are vital to their growth and resilience.
A phrase you will often hear is ‘Calne Girls Can!’ – a mindset we take to heart because our girls achieve, inspire, create, and make a difference.
We invite you to come and experience for yourself what makes our school exceptional. A warm welcome from the entire team at St Mary’s awaits you. I look forward to meeting you and your daughter very soon.
