Online resources

The St Mary’s Schools and Colleges team have created online resources available for download.

We want to do everything we can to support teachers, advisers, parents and students; we want to make sure learners are able to make informed decisions when choosing which university is for them. Please let us know if there are any resources which would be useful if you cannot find what you’re looking for here.

Please get in touch with schools.colleges@stmarys.ac.uk if you have any queries or suggestions of how we can help.
