Helping children discover their future
Set in the heart of the rural Borders, St Mary’s Melrose is an independent co-educational prep school for 2 to 13-year-olds offering day, weekly and flexi boarding. Our close-knit community of staff, pupils and parents is an integral part of this thriving, dynamic school which aims to provide a first-class allround education in a happy stimulating environment.
A high level of teaching across the whole spectrum of academic subjects is backed by a strong emphasis on sport, music, drama and extra-curricular activities. St Mary’s also prides itself on its strong Learning Support Department. The school is delighted to be shortlisted for TES Awards for its free science festival, Bang Goes The Borders.
Central to life at St Mary’s is the busy and active hub of the Boarding House where a high level of pastoral care in a cosy family environment provides an ideal introduction to boarding- for as many or few nights a week as required. Only a 5-minute drive from the Borders Railway at Tweedbank, the school is an ideal option for families seeking to give their children a taste of the rural freedom whilst making an easy return journey back home at weekends.
St Mary’s’ school leavers depart to senior schools far and wide as independent learners with the confidence and knowledge to face the new challenges ahead.
