St Mary's is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils. Due to the nature of the work involved, successful applicants will be required to undertake an Enhanced DBS check and a number of initial online safeguarding courses, and will be subject to internet and social media searches.
St Mary’s is an exceptional boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18. It is a place where students feel appreciated, celebrated, and understood by friends and staff alike. We inspire girls to achieve academically, discover and nurture their unique talents, and create lifelong friendships.
St Mary’s shares its site with St Margaret’s Prep, also home to the Bluebirds Nursery, enabling us to welcome children from 2 to 11 years. St Margaret’s is a vibrant co-educational day school offering inspirational learning to approximately 180 pupils.
As well as innovative teaching, learning and a wide co-curricular programme, both schools offer outstanding pastoral care and, joined by the St Mary’s School Sports Club, offer a warm inclusive community.
Our site provides an exceptional working environment surrounded by landscaped and natural outdoor spaces in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside. Our staff are talented and motivated and show deep dedication to fulfilling the potential of each of our students, both in and out of the classroom.
We look forward to receiving applications from inspiring teachers who are ready to embrace the full and varied teaching life of a busy boarding school.
