All parents know how much time school can take up. Of course there are any number of bits of schooling parents want to share. But a busy agenda managing your own life and school life - not to mention the school run - can pose challenges. The risk is that everybody compromises and nobody - neither you, nor your daughter - achieves the best of both worlds.
Weekly boarding means that, in general, you have control of your life from Monday morning through until Friday afternoon, or even longer. Then you can look forward to sharing the weekends with your daughter - in all likelihood having first watched her play netball or lacrosse in one of the teams on Saturday morning!
All St Catherine's parents agree that nothing is more important than their daughter being happy. That said, parents tell us there are many benefits to weekly boarding:
'When my wife wanted to go back college, weekly boarding was the perfect solution for us - and our daughter loved it too.'
'As current parents I can safely say that, if we had our time again, we would make the same decision and send the girls to St. Catherine's. It offers the academic excellence of the London Day Schools, without the pressure on places.'
'There seems to be just the right balance between freedom and security.'
'For all of us the week just flies by, then we're able to plan more quality time for the weekends.'
'Our daughter has made a whole set of new school friends, but can still keep up her established friendships and social life at home.'
