Welcome from the Headmistress
St Mary's Ascot is a leading Roman Catholic girls' boarding school set in 55 acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of Berkshire. We are a friendly, stable and caring community, proud of our academic and sporting achievements and dedicated to bringing out the full potential of each of our 350 pupils. We are committed to full boarding, with spaces for a few day pupils living nearby. We offer a stimulating range of extra-curricular activities which take place in the evenings and throughout the weekend.

Our web pages will give you some information about our school, the excellent opportunities and the facilities we offer.

Mary Breen
Headmistress


Roman Catholic
We are a Catholic school. The Chapel is at the heart of our school both in a physical and spiritual sense. We try to encourage in our girls a sense of their spiritual relationship with God which informs their daily lives.

We meet as a whole school every morning to pray and sing hymns together, to celebrate and share in each others successes; to offer the new day to God.

The case for the new Performing Arts Centre

 
St Mary’s School Ascot is highly successful in terms of academic results and achievement, our reputation and popularity, and our strength of faith and mission. The resources and facilities are impressive and the school has further ambitious plans for the future.

However, to rely on fee income alone means that our ideas and exciting plans for new development can only be afforded over a much longer period than ideally we would wish.

Our Concert Hall which was built in 1914 has been, over the years, the venue for countless excellent productions. However, there are many limitations in the dated facilities it provides and now we consider that the time has come to invest in a Performing Arts Centre. This will provide significant further opportunities for the pupils to develop their musical and dramatic talents and give the enthusiastic drama and music departments more scope for diverse productions.

The achievement of our goals will require your support.

We have already identified a suitable site for our new theatre. The opening in January 2005 of our wonderful sports facility, The Orchard Centre, has meant that the old gymnasium has been vacated. This site is perfect for a new theatre, since it is situated at the heart of the school campus and will be ideal for the girls when they are busy rehearsing late into the night and when we are using the Performing Arts Centre for late evening events. We are basing the new, large building on the footprints of the existing gymnasium and, crucially, we have been successful in obtaining full planning permission for the new project.
