Boarding Options - Full/Weekly/Flexible
|
|
|
Boarding is well established at St. Catherine’s and its distinctive ethos pervades the whole school, giving it a happy and caring atmosphere. Boarding frees parents and children from long journeys to and from school, leaving time for more interesting activities. As Boarders, girls become independent and self-reliant and forge friendships for life. Our flexible approach allows us to cater for full, weekly and occasional boarders.
Girls new to boarding at 11+ live in a separate house, Symes, with their own Housemistress. They quickly gain confidence through living in this caring, family atmosphere before moving on to one of the two houses in Main School. Sixth Form girls live in the Centenary Building.
The Head of Boarding, Boarding Housemistresses, Matrons and resident tutors care for the girls. The resident School Nursing Sister, a qualified RGN, supervises the health of the boarders. The School Medical Officer gives advice on all queries involving the physical well-being of the girls.
