History

St Mary's School was established in 1895 by John Hamilton as a school for boys.[2] The school remains at its original location in Abbey Park, Melrose, and is named after St Mary's Abbey, Melrose.[2][3] In 1976 the school became co-educational.[3]

The school motto is Behalde to ye hende, which means Look to your future in old Scots.[4]

In July 2010 the school opened the Hamilton Building, named after the founder, for the use of the top three years' pupils.[5]

The headmaster, Liam Harvey, took charge in September 2010 and is a former pupil of the school.[5]

In March 2015 the Sanderson Building, a new science and art block, was opened by Princess Anne.[6]

St Mary's School has produced seventeen Scotland rugby union internationals, six of whom have represented the British and Irish Lions.[7]
