Reflecting the cosmopolitan community of Cambridge, on average 25% of students originate from overseas, from around 30 countries. The School offers a secure and welcoming learning environment for girls: we are delightfully situated in the heart of the academically renowned and culturally vibrant city of Cambridge. The Junior School is adjacent to the famous backdrop of Coe Fen, and the Senior School and Boarding House overlook the University of Cambridge Botanic Gardens. Cambridge is an outstanding place to live and work. As a university city, Cambridge has the cultural advantages of a much larger settlement but with a population of approximately 145,000, it is a safe, clean and attractive location. The city has an international reputation owing to its world ranking university and the school benefits from its proximity to the digital and enterprise communities in the various high-tech science parks and enterprise hubs. We are within easy travelling distance of London, less than an hour by train and a short hop from London Stansted Airport. There has been major investment in new facilities at the School over the past decade: a new Junior School; a new Sixth Form Centre; new provision of Art & Photography; the creation of our Science Hub; and our new boarding facility, Mary Ward House. We have developed our sporting facilities through an ambitious collaboration with Homerton College, University of Cambridge and have invested in a new boat house in a joint partnership with City of Cambridge Rowing Club and Homerton College. We are proud to have opened our Mary Ward Educational Suite in which provides state of the art teaching spaces. High quality facilities are only as good as the people who work in them, so we invest heavily in our staff, who we know are our greatest asset. We encourage staff to develop themselves through training and facilitate bespoke CPD opportunities for all. St Mary’s School promotes equal opportunity for all staff and pupils and is committed to its culture of diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. Above all, St Mary’s School, Cambridge is a very happy place. We have an excellent local reputation for being very friendly and nurturing, and yet ambitious, for the young women in our care, enabling strong progress to next steps at university, the world of work or a gap year. Our girls are genuinely delightful, the teachers and support staff are exceptionally dedicated; we are a very close-knit, loving, joyful and purposeful community. St Mary’s really is a warm and welcoming environment for all staff, whatever their role, and we look forward to receiving your application.

The challenge for women is not over, and whilst there are now more opportunities for 'women to do much' there are still considerable barriers and so our work continues via our mission to develop curious, creative and compassionate young women with the aspiration, confidence and integrity to shape a better world for the common good. Our approach is based on the core values of Freedom, Joy, Justice, Love and Truth and we live these values in school through our HEART habits of H – Hard work E – Empathy A – Adaptability R – Responsibility T – Thoughtfulness We show perseverance and sustain focus. We are kind, joyful, generous, value friendship and celebrate diversity. We adjust to difficult situations, are open minded, discerning and take calculated risks.

Our unique approach to education fosters a love of life and of learning, while growing the academic curiosity and spiritual wellbeing of each individual girl so that they can look beyond themselves and enter adulthood aspiring to be more and to give more, not just to have more.

We're on the lookout for volunteers to join us at the 2026 London Marathon. As a volunteer on the day you’ll support Mencap to make change through raising funds and cheering on our superstar marathon runners.
The 2026 TCS London Marathon is a 26.2 mile run around central London with over 40,000 people taking part. Mencap has over 128 runners taking part and fundraising for us. They will run on Sunday 26 April 2026. Each of our runners will try to raise £2,500. We want to give them as much support as possible so will have cheer points along the route, and a post race reception to congratulate them for their achievement!
We need volunteers to join us at one of our 3 cheer points - the cheer points are at Tower Bridge, Embankment, or at the Finish Line on the Mall! For these roles you will need to come ready to cheer and high five our amazing runners! For the finish line, there are 2 roles you could do, either meeting the runners at the finish line to congratulate them and guide them to the team, or to meet them on Horse Guards parade and hand out snacks and congrats!
We are asking you to volunteer for around 4 hours, rain or shine, so be ready to bring the enthusiasm to help them cross the line!
What will I be doing? You will be volunteering at one of Mencap's cheer points on April 26th. This might include:
- Cheering our runners
- Waving flags
- Making lots of noise with clappers and whistles
- Thanking people for running and raising money for Mencap
To sign up to volunteer with us, please choose the time and location that works best for you on the following link:
- To sign up to cheer at Tower Bridge, choose Tower Bridge Road
- To sign up to cheer at Embankment, choose on of the time slots for Victoria Embankment Gardens
- To sign up to cheer, direct and hand out snacks to the finished runners at the Finish Line, choose one of the time slots for The Mall, London
The London Marathon is the biggest one day fundraising event in the world! Because of this, it is really popular to both run and with families and friends to come and support the runners. Some of our cheer points are in busy areas of the route, and can get very busy. Sometimes, roads or tube stations might also be closed, so you may not be able to go your planned route to your cheer point. However, you will have a volunteer manager on the who will be on hand to support you who you can call to give you guidance on where to go! Earlier and later volunteers shifts will also be less busy if you prefer to be away from the crowd.
Our events are vital to Mencap, bringing people together to share experiences, launch programmes and celebrate successes! They also often help to raise funds for our services, such as the Learning Disability Helpline, advocacy services, and national campaigns such as Homes not Hospitals.
We couldn't run these events without the support of volunteers, so by giving a few hours of your time you can help us to host events, raise vital funds to support Mencap's work and support people with a learning disability to ...
