Inspire and develop

The programme aims to prepare teachers who have:

•		a vocation to care for children and a sensitivity towards their needs
•		an enthusiasm for teaching and a commitment to the educative process;
•		a belief in the promotion of equal opportunities, recognising differences occasioned by race, religion, sex, class or disability and the need to adopt non-discriminatory practices in all these respects;
•		a willingness to learn and an openness to change and innovation;
•		a lively mind and a range of cultural and other interests.

Students will also gain practical experience in a range of school environments and the opportunity to study abroad.

One aspect that stood out to me the most was the warmth of the people at St Mary’s. From the administrative staff to the students, everyone was approachable, kind, and genuinely interested in each other’s well-being. The tight-knit community made me feel like I was part of a big family. Overall, my experience at St Mary’s was incredibly positive. I highly recommend St Mary’s to anyone seeking an exceptional educational experience in a welcoming and supportive environment.
