Public Benefit

The staff and Governors of St. Mary's recognise that the school has a clear responsibility to both the local and wider communities in terms of Public Benefit. These are some of the ways in which St. Mary's school endeavours to fulfil that responsibility:Public Benefit
  • We provide an excellent all-round education to boys and girls aged 3 - 13.
  • We offer qualified support to children who have additional learning needs.
  • We give open access to our facilities (buildings and grounds) to a number of organisations, both local and from further afield.
  • We are currently in the process of applying to the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music to become an examination centre for the Scottish Borders. 
  • We offer means tested Bursary awards (see Bursaries page) designed to encourage access to St. Mary's to children who otherwise would not be able to afford the school fees.
  • Pupils are regularly engaged in charitable fundraising activities.
