I am incredibly proud to be the Head of Queen Mary’s School – a place where girls are inspired to be confident, compassionate, and courageous, ready to lead and thrive in a changing world.
At Queen Mary’s, we believe in happily empowering girls from the earliest years, nurturing leadership skills and a strong sense of self so that every pupil is equipped to become who – and what – they aspire to be. Our school is a dynamic and supportive environment where academic excellence, creativity, adventure, and personal growth go hand in hand.
Welcoming girls from age 3 to 16 – and boys in Pre-Prep – we are proud to be part of the Woodard family of schools, rooted in Christian values and committed to the development of the whole child. Here, every individual is valued, respected, and encouraged to aim high, serve others, and lead with integrity.
Our experienced and cohesive leadership team, alongside a dedicated staff body, delivers a forward-thinking education shaped by joy in learning and a love of life. The curriculum is rich and varied, designed to bring out the best in every child – whether through academic achievement, creative expression, sport, or outdoor learning.
With 60 co-curricular activities each week, girls here can discover and pursue their passions. From art and music to climbing trees, kayaking, and bushcraft, Queen Mary’s is a school where girls learn to take healthy risks, solve problems, and build resilience – skills essential for the leaders of tomorrow.
Boarding plays a central role, developing independence, strong friendships, and a deep sense of belonging. Many of our pupils go on to leading Sixth Forms and colleges, often earning scholarships and awards, carrying with them a strong foundation of confidence and character.
At the heart of it all, Queen Mary’s is a school where girls are encouraged to be themselves – joyful, brave, kind, and ambitious.
I warmly invite you to visit Queen Mary’s and experience for yourself the charm, spirit, and ambition that make our school a truly exceptional place to grow and thrive.
