In our 150th anniversary year, we are looking to recognise as many of our alumnae as possible and to celebrate our very wide and diverse community of old girls. Our 2023 categories for Alumnae of the Year Awards aim to capture many of St Mary's values and to inspire and share great stories, achievements, and ambitions.

We are delighted to announce that Jenna Burlingham (1988 leaver) has been awarded Alumna of the Year - Jenna owns a wonderful gallery in Kingsclere, Hampshire and curates acclaimed and beautiful exhibitions with artists from around the world. 

The Trailblazer Award is an extra special award for this year, recognising young alum who are at beginning of their professional paths. This award has been awarded to Jess & Sassie Patel (2017 Leavers) who have shown incredible ambition, focus and determination in launching an online fashion business, alongside their day jobs working in Advertising.
