Queen Mary’s School is an all girls’ independent boarding and day school situated in beautiful countryside, between Ripon and Thirsk. Baldersby Park, the school’s current home, is a Grade 1 listed building surrounded by 40 acres of landscaped grounds, sports fields and paddocks.
Queen Mary’s has a reputation for high academic achievement to add to a long-standing tradition of building all-round confidence in pupils though a very wide range of educational and co-curricular opportunities. The current Head, Carole Cameron, has been in post for nearly ten years and has overseen a programme of improvements that bring the Queen Mary’s offering in line with much larger competitors nationally. As a small School, Queen Mary’s consistently punches above its weight.
The School is on a very strong footing financially, with a healthy endowment and recent investment in major facilities. The Board wishes to build a long-term programme of investment to sustain Queen Mary’s into the future. The School’s Pre-prep department is co-ed, while the Prep and Senior school is for girls only and spans the age range 7 to 16. Some girls are prepared for Common Entrance, though most girls stay on to do GCSEs.
The School has a strong boarding tradition with a healthy mix of full, weekly and flexi-boarding. The boarding life of the School is a central part of the Queen Mary’s culture for both day girls and boarders.
Queen Mary’s is part of the Woodard Corporation, a group of 43 independent and maintained schools. Woodard Schools operate as stand-alone entities, with professional support from the centre where required. The Woodard ethos promotes Christian education and high academic and pastoral standards within all its schools.
