In case the Christmas and New Year celebrations weren’t quite enough, the 2023 Leavers kicked off the new year in style with a fun evening of drinks and nibbles at The Thomas Cubitt in Belgravia last Friday 3 January. The date was strategically chosen to ensure a lively reunion, bringing together as many girls as possible before they head back to their respective universities. It was the perfect chance to make more memories and soak in the festive cheer one last time!

Mrs Harrison, Miss Grant and Mr Smyth were excited to attend, arriving with excellent school promptness to enjoy their first drink in relative peace before the whirlwind of 2023 Leavers joined! The girls were obviously delighted to see each other and the staff members present with many hugs and smiles all-round. Touchingly, the girls talked repeatedly of their fondness for St Mary’s and their appreciation for all the support and encouragement they had received whilst there. 

They all looked very well, were keen to stay touch with both St Mary’s and themselves, and asked for a date for the next reunion to be set very soon!
