EXPERT IN THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS
W
elcome to St Catherine’s, a school where little girls with dreams become young women with vision. As a community, we ensure that the team around each child creates a secure, happy environment which encourages self-belief so each girl develops the skills to go on to achieve and succeed. We are able to provide the many exciting opportunities that come from being a through school (4-18 years) with world-class facilities including a purpose built auditorium with orchestra pit, plenty of fields and an indoor swimming pool. Each aspect of our teaching and learning and every initiative whether academic, extra-curricular or pastoral, is tailored to meet the needs of girls. In the Pre-Prep classroom girls quickly grow in confidence and receive tailored teaching encouraging them to voice their views. As they grow, in the classroom and in the playground there are no gender stereotypes and all girls have opportunities for leadership, be they ‘Buddy Bench friends’ or Eco Prefects. Achievement is lauded in girls’ schools not laughed at and academic achievement in a girls-only environment attests to this.
