It was named 2015 "Public School of the Year" at the annual Tatler Schools Awards.[2] It was ranked No. 1 in the U.K. by The Daily Telegraph in the 2018 GCSEs.[3] HistorySt Mary's School was founded by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM). The school chapel was built in 1885 and funded by Cecilia Marshall, and the First Mass was celebrated there on 2 July 1896. The Chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Humility and St Cecilia. It was consecrated by Bishop John Baptist Cahill in 1906.[4] Since 1984, it has been run by the St Mary's School Ascot Trust. In 1998 the school had its first lay Headmistress, Mrs Mary Breen (leaving). Only one liturgical staff member remains, Father Dermot, the school's chaplain. {{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} In 2006, the school opened its new sports centre, named the Orchard Centre after the Catholic family from which the school's two previous headmistresses came. The Centre was opened by ballerina Darcey Bussell. A Performing Arts Centre has also been built named the Rose Theatre. It opened in April 2009. {{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} In 2015, St Mary's became the first school in the UK to use vein matching for keeping track of pupil attendance.[5] In 2018, the school inaugurated its new Upper Sixth (Year 13) Courtyard: new boarding houses area for girls.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} CurriculumSt Mary's has enjoyed success in both GCSE and A Levels examinations. It was listed in The Independent's top 100 schools for 2012 based on the most recent A Levels results.[6] In 2018 the girls' school achieved 1st place in the U.K. based on their GCSE results with a 97.5% A*-A or 9-1 rate - one of four schools to surpass 97% for the top grades, according to the Independent Schools Council (ISC).[7] In 2018, girls placed 21st in the U.K. in their A Level results according to the Best Schools: UK School League Ranking based on their 75.77% A*-A results.[8] Pastoral careAs St Mary's is a Catholic school, girls are required to attend chapel and worship services. Throughout the Liturgical year the whole school community gather together to celebrate Feast Days and Holy Days of Obligation. Spiritual retreats are also organised for each year. The boarding areas are stationed around the school and the girls sleep within their year group. This gives them a chance to socialise with other girls other that are very close friends. HousesMost pupils at St Mary's are boarders. The house system is based on the boarding programme and each house has a mix of boarders and day girls. Each girl between Year 7 and Lower 6th (Year 12) belongs to one of the five main houses - Babthorpe, Bedingfeld, Poyntz, Rookwood and Wigmore - which are named after Mary Ward's fellow nuns.[9] Only girls in Upper Sixth (Year 13) are members of the Mary Ward house. Each house has a captain, vice-captain and other leadership roles (e.g. prefects, drama captain) who are elected by house pupils.
The Heads of House are the first point of contact for girls and parents and most also teach at the school. All Heads of House have an office in the main body of the school and live on site with their families. Every house organises activities and social events on the weekends, which parents are encouraged to attend.[10] Notable former pupils{{see also|Category:People educated at St Mary's School, Ascot}}
