St. Catherine’s is a Church of England School that educates girls aged 4-18, with day pupils only in the Preparatory School. In the Senior School, both day and boarding pupils are admitted.
The boarding ethos pervades the whole School, giving it a happy, caring and homely atmosphere.
There is a range of boarding options to suit today’s parents: full, weekly and occasional flexi boarding (accommodation permitting for the latter).
There are three boarding houses:
Bronte (11-14) and Keller (15-16), both situated in the Main School building.
Sixth Form - located in a separate building reserved for the use of sixth form pupils only.
Boarders at St. Catherine’s become independent, self-reliant and forge friendships for life. The Christian tradition underpins the Traditions of St. Catherine’s, the Code of Conduct on which the School and the boarding community are built
Entry to the School is by academic selection at 11+ and 16+, though occasional places are available at 12+, 13+ and 14+.
The Head of Boarding, Boarding Housemistresses, Assistant Boarding House Parents, and the Resident Tutors, care for the girls who board, whilst a team of four Registered Nurses supervise their health in conjunction with the School Medical Officer.
Details of the day-to-day boarding practice of the School can be found in the publication Boarding at St. Catherine’s which is reviewed and updated each Summer and distributed to all boarders’ families.
