Collaboration

St. Mary's is one of three secondary schools in Limavady, the others being Limavady High School and Limavady Grammar School. It collaborates with these schools and with St. Patrick College, Dungiven and Rossmar School in the Roe Valley Learning Community. Through this partnership, the schools offer shared courses and facilities for their students.

Academics

The school initially only provided instruction for students up to GCSE level. In 1975, 'A' level provision was introduced. St. Mary's now offers a full range of subjects at both GCSE and A-Level. In 2017/2018, 73.7% of its students who sat the A-level exams were awarded three A*-C grades.
