Experience an exceptional education in our leading private school
We regularly welcome international pupils* from a variety of countries to join our school community. International families choose St Mary's Preparatory School because of our commitment to academic excellence, character development, global perspectives, and British values.
All students – British, EU and international – are charged the same fees, regardless of nationality or immigration status.
*International pupils are those with nationalities other than UK or Irish who are subject to immigration control
International Admissions
Pupils who are non-native English speakers will be asked to meet online with a member of our parent company, Cognita’s international team, who will informally assess their English language level.
The international team will then advise the school whether the pupil would benefit from additional support with their English prior to enrolment and/or during the first year of their studies.
St Mary's Preparatory School and Cognita work with a range of international pupil recruitment agencies, education consultants and relocation agents. Agents and consultants are invited to contact the international admissions team at Cognita about representation.
