Known well. Encouraged to be themselves.

Small classes and close relationships mean every girl is recognised as an individual. Teachers understand their strengths, encourage their interests and help them develop confidence in themselves.

Opportunities to discover their strengths.

From sport, music and drama to creative subjects, trips and leadership, girls are encouraged to explore their interests, discover new talents and pursue their own ambitions.

More than a school. A place to belong.

Rooted in our Catholic ethos, St Catherine’s is a warm and welcoming community where girls feel supported, valued and ready to take on new challenges. Girls develop friendships, independence and confidence in a school where they are known and encouraged to be themselves.
