As well as innovative teaching, learning and scholarship, St Mary's Calne offers outstanding pastoral care and a vibrant, warm community.
Ethos
St Mary's Calne believes in excellence in all respects. As a school community, we thrive amidst a culture of strong expectations and the education which we provide nurtures and develops the concept of high performance. The principal aim is to develop well-rounded pupils who are equipped to excel as adults.
Co-curricular opportunities beyond the classroom are a vital and integral part of life for girls at St Mary's Calne. These opportunities are woven into the timetable during the day, in the evenings and at weekends. We believe that both boarders and day girls benefit from all aspects of the strong boarding ethos of the school.

We would be pleased to receive applications from both experienced teachers and those new to the profession.
Geography is currently taught by three teachers in a department which values an innovative, stimulating and modern approach to the study of the subject and strives to widen geographical understanding and knowledge whilst also teaching vital transferable skills. A large proportion of pupils opt to study the subject to GCSE. Uptake at A Level is strong with extremely good grades and many girls progressing to studying the subject at top universities.
The Department is well resourced with an excellent range of materials and offers ambitious non-residential and residential fieldwork opportunities to all key stages as well as residential fieldtrips at both KS4 and KS5.
