St Catherine’s is a girls' day and boarding school. We believe the greatest gift we can give our students is self-belief. We educate our students, from the ages of 3 to 18, to develop their strengths and, crucially, build their confidence, and frame their own ideas and core values, challenging them to take risks and offering opportunities to lead. Each aspect of teaching and learning whether academic, extra-curricular or pastoral is tailored to meet the needs of girls.
We are an academically selective school, offering a challenging environment where students are taught by inspiring specialist teachers. Our students go on to study a wide range of subjects at leading universities both in the UK and overseas. Our House system is at the heart of the pastoral structure of the School. A vertical mix of all ages from 11 to 18, both boarding and day students, a House is a supportive ‘family’ within School. With 160 boarders from 26 different nationalities, our boarding ethos is built on kindness, tolerance and compassion to others. 25% of our students are boarders, we truly believe that Boarding offers students a transformative experience that helps prepare
them for life ahead.
We positively encourage our students to take full advantage of the wide range of extracurricular opportunities available at school encompassing sport, music and drama with over 100 clubs on offer from Advanced Mandarin to Dog Club, Model UN to the Polyglot Club.
