Ximena's Story
Ximena, recent old girl, attended Queen Mary’s for the last 14 years and achieved all 8-9s including 6 Grade 9s.
“As an academic scholar I have always had a passion for academics. With a career in medicine as my goal, I have worked hard and with the small class sizes my teachers have been able to tailor my learning and give me extension work to discover my passions. I love how our school feels like a community and everyone is very friendly towards each other. I have friends in all year groups. As Deputy Head Girl I have led the Charity Council and been a member of the Community Service Group. I will remain a ‘Mary’s girl’ as now I have received two scholarships to attend St Mary’s School, Cambridge. The Mary Ward scholarship rewards spirituality, charity and community values and the Academic (STEM) scholarship promotes Science and Mathematics.”
