Mentoring and Academic Support

At Holy Mary, we take great pride in preparing every student for life beyond school — guiding them step by step toward admission to leading universities in the UK, Spain, the US, and across Europe.

Our team has many years of experience supporting students through this process, and our structured programme begins in the second half of Year 11, continuing throughout Years 12 and 13.

Each student receives personalised, one-to-one support from our University Guidance Counsellor and teaching team. Together, we help students reflect on their ambitions, identify suitable courses, and build a clear plan to reach their goals. This includes tailored guidance on writing CVs, personal statements or letters of motivation, and preparation for interviews — from highly competitive universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, to specialised fields like Medicine or the Creative Arts, where portfolio submissions are required.
