Said Headteacher Lars Fox: We are incredibly proud of this year’s students and all they have achieved. Their results reflect not only their academic ability and determination, but the individual support of our dedicated teachers and their families. At St Mary’s, our specialist Sixth Form Ignite programme, small class sizes, bespoke approach and state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre provide an exceptional environment in which every girl is supported to achieve her very best at A Level.

What is particularly exciting is the breadth of opportunities now ahead of them. Our students are progressing to some of the UK’s leading universities, as well as highly competitive degree apprenticeships and other exciting pathways. Supported by our award-winning Careers and University programme, they leave St Mary’s with the confidence to embrace whatever comes next. We are immensely proud of the Class of 2026 and wish every one of these exceptional young women every success for the future.
