Welcome and Ethos
St Catherine's Preparatory School is a happy school with high expectations. We are fortunate to be located in the beautiful village of Bramley, near Guildford. The School is academically selective, providing a range of outstanding opportunities both in and out of the classroom. We encourage a love of learning in an environment where the art of creative thinking is taught, along with self-reliance. Supported by strong Christian values girls acquire self-respect, and show courtesy and consideration for others. The girls are fully prepared to move on to their senior schools, including St Catherine's. Their education is an important partnership between home and school, with shared aims and aspirations.
