A Word from the Head

St Mary’s School, Calne is noted for its academic excellence and offers its 300 girls, aged 11-18, a stimulating academic education in an attractive, informal and supportive environment. Great emphasis is placed on pastoral care and on traditional values which complement the modern curriculum, developing successful young women for the 21st century.

The twenty-six acre school campus provides excellent facilities, not only for teaching but also for a wide range of extra-curricular evening and weekend activities. Drama, Music, Art and Sport are strongly represented. The school has its own purpose built theatre and a modern Sports Centre with state-of-the-art fitness suite and 25m pool.

Small class sizes allow the highly qualified teaching staff to focus on the needs of the individual and girls consistently achieve superb results in public examinations and go on to higher education, with a good number each year often successfully applying to Oxbridge. Around 16 subjects are offered at GCSE, while Sixth Formers have access to 23 A Levels and many additional courses.
