The St Mary’s Institute of Education recently retained its Outstanding rating, awarded first in 2011. The University was graded Outstanding in all areas for both primary and secondary provisions.

In their report Ofsted said of St Mary’s, “Leaders ensure that St Mary’s University’s ethos and values of inclusivity, generosity of spirit, respect and excellence underpin their work with trainees. They prioritise trainees’ well-being, which ensures that trainees and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) are exceptionally well cared for and valued by the partnership.

“As a result, trainees have high expectations of themselves and achieve outstanding outcomes. A special feature of St Mary’s is the bespoke support given to individuals before, during and after they gain qualified teacher status.”
