Welcome to St Mary’s Bryanston Square CE Primary School, a beacon of excellence nestled in the heart of Marylebone, London. We pride ourselves on our outstanding behaviour, leadership, and personal development programs that shape our students into well-rounded individuals ready to excel in their future endeavors.

We want all of our children to be able to make confident choices in the future, whether that is in the next phase of their education or in later life.  We hope that the time in which they were with us, they will have gained the knowledge and skills to allow them to make choices in life, whichever route they take.

We have high expectations of all of our children at SMBS and use our school’s Christian values and the teachings of the Bible to help us live life in all its fullness. Our school vision of 'Excellence with Compassion'

 drives all that we do. 

St Mary’s Bryanston Square Primary School is not just any school; it is a village school in the heart of London, offering a unique blend of a close-knit community atmosphere with the rich cultural experiences of the city. Our prime location provides a safe, nurturing environment while being accessible to the myriad educational and recreational opportunities that London has to offer.

Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our national outcomes. In May 2023, Ofsted highlighted our achievements, stating, “Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils read enthusiastically. They learn a broad range of subjects and are taught how to make connections between subject content in different areas of the curriculum. Leaders’ work to develop the curriculum is rigorous, including in early years, where their actions have been particularly successful. They know what is working well, and they are tenacious in building on this and securing further improvements. This is a key reason why pupils learn so effectively in many subjects. Parents are extremely positive about the school. They comment that it feels like a family. Parents are extremely positive about the school. They comment that it feels like a family.”
