St Catherine’s is an independent Catholic day school for girls aged 7-18, set beside the beautiful River Thames in Twickenham. With over 100 years of experience in independent education, we welcome girls of all faiths and none into a warm, vibrant community where every girl is known and valued as an individual.
At St Catherine’s, we believe in A Different Kind of Ambitious. Ambition begins with knowing each girl – her strengths, interests and potential. Academic expectations are matched by personal attention, giving girls the confidence to be themselves, embrace challenges and achieve more than they might expect. It is a place where strong relationships, a sense of belonging and genuine care help every girl flourish.
Our Catholic ethos is at the heart of school life and is reflected in two guiding principles. Our school motto, ‘Not Words, but Deeds’, inspires us to put our values into action and contribute positively to our community. We are also guided by the words of 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.’ These words remind us that every girl has her own gifts to discover, ambitions to pursue and contribution to make.
At St Catherine’s, every girl is encouraged to grow in confidence, fulfil her potential and discover just how much she can achieve.
