The Marist Schools are independent Catholic day schools for girls aged 3-18. They are Catholic schools but welcome all Christians and other faiths who are in sympathy with the schools' ethos. Girls enter the Nursery from age 3 and the Preparatory School from age 4 to 11 years. Once girls reach 11 they often join the Senior School until age 18 years.

The schools are within a 60 acre site in the village of Sunninghill, Berkshire. The site includes several buildings for the senior school, a main building for the preparatory school, an indoor swimming pool, a music block, a large playing field and most recently a drama block.
