A welcome from the Chair of Governors

I would like to echo Mrs Edwards' welcome to you all and I thank you for your interest in our school.

St Mary’s school has a long tradition in Rickmansworth, dating back to 1711.

We are proud of our pupils’ achievements in all areas of their school life, whether those achievements are academic, creative or sporting.

In 2019, our school was inspected by Ofsted who graded the school 'a good school'.  Inspectors reported that: 

The school has a caring inclusive ethos, where pupils are looked after well. Parents and carers, pupils and staff are overwhelmingly supportive of the work of the school.  

An exciting, aspirational curriculum develops pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well. They are well prepared for the next stage in their education and for life in modern Britain.

In 2018, we were inspected by SIAS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools).  We were deemed 'a good school'.

Our pupils enjoy coming to school. They also enjoy their lessons and their extra-curricular activities.  In line with the school’s Christian ethos, we take a pride in educating our pupils and developing a strong sense of morality in them, whatever their faith or none. 

Mr David Carruthers– Chair of Governors
