History

Formerly St Mary's Grammar School, a voluntary aided Roman Catholic school, it was mostly destroyed by bombs in 1941 having been established by the Sisters of Mercy near a convent on Anlaby Road. It was later rebuilt and moved to Inglemire Lane in 1960 to become St Mary's Grammar School for Girls, close to the Marist College for Boys on Cottingham Road. Marist College had been established in 1926 by the Society of Mary (Marist Fathers).

In 1988 after LEA reorganisation, it converted into St Mary's College, a Voluntary Aided, Roman Catholic, Co-Educational and Comprehensive Day school for pupils aged 11–19 in the Diocese of Middlesbrough.

The school was subsequently awarded the status of a specialist Sports College and became a Department for Education and Employment Beacon School.

In October 2017 St Mary's College converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust.
