" Offers a truly distinctive all-girls education. Every girl is known, valued and supported to reach her full potential. "
Nestled within 40 acres of beautiful North Yorkshire parkland, Queen Mary’s School offers a truly distinctive all-girls education for pupils aged 3–16. Established in 1925, the school combines a rich heritage with a forward-thinking ethos, delivering a vibrant, bespoke curriculum that achieves excellent academic outcomes while nurturing confidence and individuality. Small class sizes and a close-knit community ensure every girl is known, valued, and supported to reach her full potential – academically, socially, and personally. Recognised as one of the top 5 schools (no sixth form) in the UK by The Times Parent Power Guide, Queen Mary’s stands out among leading boarding schools for both its results and its personalised approach.
Boarding at Queen Mary’s is designed to feel like a genuine “home from home,” with flexible options including full, weekly, and flexi boarding to suit modern family life. Girls benefit from exceptional pastoral care, comfortable shared accommodation, and a warm, supportive environment where lasting friendships are formed. A lively weekend programme of trips, creative activities, and social events ensures boarders enjoy a rich and balanced experience beyond the classroom, helping them develop independence, resilience, and a strong sense of community.
A unique highlight of Queen Mary’s is its on-site equestrian provision, featuring a British Horse Society-approved Equestrian Centre that offers “riding for all” – from complete beginners to experienced riders. This outstanding facility sits alongside a broad co-curricular programme spanning sport, the arts, and outdoor education, ensuring every girl can discover and develop her passions. With its strong emphasis on wellbeing, opportunity, and achievement, Queen Mary’s provides a nurturing yet ambitious environment where girls grow in confidence and leave ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
