}}St. Mary's School is an independent, co-educational, day and boarding prep school in Melrose, Scotland.[1] As of 2015 there are 190 pupils; 97 boys and 93 girls.[1]

History

St. Mary's School was established in 1895 by John Hamilton as a school for boys.[2] The school remains at its original location in Abbey Park, Melrose, and is named after St. Mary's Abbey, Melrose.[2][5] In 1976 the school became co-educational.[3]

The school motto is Behalde to ye hende, which means Look to your future in old Scots.[4]

In July 2010 the school opened the Hamilton Building, named after the founder, for the use of the top three years' pupils.[8]

The headmaster, Liam Harvey, took charge in September 2010 and is a former pupil of the school.[8]

In March 2015 the Sanderson Building, a new science and art block, was opened by Anne, Princess Royal.[5]

St. Mary's School has produced seventeen {{nrut|Scotland}} rugby union internationals, six of whom have represented the British and Irish Lions.[6]

He was born on April 6, 1926. Tom Elliot was the epitome of the hard Borders prop forward of the 1950s. An amateur who loved his rugby, he was capped for Scotland 14 times and toured with the British Isles in South Africa in 1955. He was also a successful sheep and cattle farmer in the Borders, and he played an active part in the farmers' union and in farming politics at national level. Thomas Elliot was born into a Kelso farming family, attended the nearby prep school of St Mary's in Melrose, and went on to Loretto School. At school he was a useful lock forward and he also played in that position for the Gala 2nd XV.}}
