Welcome to St Catherine’s School

St Catherine’s is a Catholic girls’ school set beside the beautiful river Thames, in Twickenham. We have over 100 years’ experience in independent education and welcome girls of all faiths and backgrounds to our happy, vibrant community where they will grow in self-confidence and experience success.

St Catherine’s is a caring school in which every girl is encouraged to explore her spiritual, academic and personal potential. We are motivated by two inspirational sayings. The first is our school motto ‘Not Words, but Deeds’ which captures our emphasis on action and on community life. The second is from St Catherine of Siena, after whom the school is named: ‘Be who God wants you to be and you will set the world on fire’. This encourages girls to focus on their own gifts and to be ambitious and creative. In this community everyone is valued.

More About Us

Seniors

Throughout the Senior School, girls are supported and encouraged to strive in all areas of the curriculum, to stretch and challenge themselves to make new discoveries about themselves as well as about the world in which they live.

Sixth Form

The Sixth Form at St Catherine’s is a place of academic rigour, where girls are encouraged to develop their thinking and to stretch themselves. At the same time, we offer a supportive and nurturing environment.

Prep

Central to everything we do in Prep is our belief that every child is an individual who is herself a gift, with her own strengths and talents. Our broad, balanced and challenging curriculum ensures that all our pupils make excellent progress academically while ensuring that they thrive in a nurturing and caring environment.

Early Years

Early Years includes Nursery and Reception classes. The girls benefit from a child-centred approach to learning and a rich mix of child and adult directed activities, set within bright and attractive rooms, and with wonderful outside space.
