"A happy and supportive place to learn, filled with kind and passionate teachers, whilst being given the opportunity to build self-confidence and resilience."​  Alicia Crabbe, Current Parent, 2024

"The staff and facilities are the school’s greatest strengths in our opinion. The teachers go above and beyond to create exciting and challenging opportunities for the girls, across a huge range of activities.“  Mr & Mrs Craig, Current Parents, 2023

"The school’s greatest strength is the sense of confidence it imbues in its pupils.  St Catherine’s girls leave the school with a sense that there is nothing they cannot do or achieve if they put their mind to it.  Whether in sport, studies, music or drama they are taught to aim high and believe in themselves."  Senior School Parent, Mrs Thompson, 2022

"My husband and I have been astonished by our daughter’s progress this year - her progress in reading and attitude towards this has amazed us. She has loved learning about the Great Fire of London, life cycles, learning to play the piano and getting to perform the nativity in the "actual" theatre (as she puts it).  But more importantly, is the change in her confidence and happiness that we've seen. Previously it was a rather reluctant little girl we were anxiously waving off at the school gates in the morning and then receiving one word answers on pick up. Now she cannot wait to get into the gates and talks non-stop about her day, her friends and all the exciting activities she's been up to. She bounces in and bounces out.  It goes without saying that Miss Moore and Mrs Silvester are utterly brilliant teachers and have given her so much support, encouragement and hugs this year. She is leaving PP3J (Year 2) a much happier, more resilient and curious little learner, who is genuinely excited about starting Form 1 (Year 3).  We cannot thank you and your amazing staff enough - thank you."  Mr and Mrs Woodroffe, Current Parents, 2023

"If you’re looking for a highly ranked, well established, impeccably led girls’ School in Surrey which fosters all areas of your daughter’s education, St Catherine’s should be right at the top of your short list.

We chose the School for our three daughters for its strong and distinguished reputation and its dynamic blend of establishment with open mindedness towards modernity and innovation. The School has a consistent emphasis on both academic excellence & the importance of high calibre pastoral care and all roundedness.

The pastoral care is world-class in our opinion and one of the defining reasons why we chose to send our girls to the School. Each and every child receives bespoke attention; nothing goes unnoticed by members of staff and there is excellent communication between staff and parents regarding how your child Is coping with all of the pastoral challenges she may face along the way."  Mrs Bishop, Current Parent, 2024

"Lucky girls, amazing facilities and inspirational staff.  Although busy the School totally suits my daughter and can see how her love of school and learning has developed through St Cat’s!"​  Jo Campbell, Current Parent, 2024

"Top class teaching."  Bonita Smith, Current Parent, 2024

"She loves the music and so I would say the provision of all the extra-curricular music is outstanding. The teaching staff are (almost without exception) excellent……enthusiastic and encouraging."​  Claire Martin, Current Parent, 2024

"We are delighted to share with you our joy with all that St Catherine’s has helped our daughter to achieve. The depth and intensity of learning is astonishing and your individual approach to our daughter is reassuring. The range of extracurricular and social activities is vast. We feel our daughter, as a boarder, has really found a new family away from home, people who show as much care and affection as her own parents would. We can see her now as a young woman ready to take on any challenge, and we believe she will be a credit to your school wherever she may go."  Mr and Mrs Bratulić, Current Parents, 2023

"The School’s greatest strengths lie in its rich History and proud traditions seamlessly integrating modern technologies and a forward-thinking curriculum. It not only meets the challenges of today but also opens bright prospects for the future.”  Mrs Petrachkova, Current Parent, 2024

"I felt surround by lots of activities as I walked around, such as tennis, girls playing on the grass, hearing music practice.  There was a great, friendly buzz.  It is a vibrant, high quality and friendly school. Very proficient and dedicated teachers, attention to detail, excellent facilities, beautiful surroundings, well led with a sense that hard work and fun are not mutually exclusive."​  Robert Harris-Dibben, Current Parent, 2024

"Most of the privilege I have and continue to experience is because of my education at St Catherine’s. It has taught me to be a friend, a hard worker, a team player, a leader and most of all the confidence to be whoever I want to be.  Thank you for providing and continuing to provide an education for girls to be the very best that they can be, in whatever path that they choose."  Alumna, Suzie, Year of 2015

“I managed become national champion in both the Optimist and 29er class, the latter of which I am the only girl to ever win, to which I credit the self-belief and confidence gained from St Cat’s and the advice given by the many inspirational speakers we heard from at school.”  Alumna, Emily, Year of 2021

"The girls are diverse, interested, interesting, fantastic multi-taskers and they rise to the occasion when it matters. Then they are kind and considerate and nice in the best possible way! Teaching them and seeing what they can achieve in every aspect of their lives is such a joy. I love it when you can see on someone's face that something has just clicked. I love it too when someone has perhaps struggled a little bit and you give them the confidence to keep going. Then there is the absolute buzz when someone writes or says something so brilliant you think I'm not sure I could have done that!”  Cathy Williams, Senior School, Head of Economics & Business Studies

"From my time at St Catherine’s I am extremely grateful to have learned some important lessons which have shaped who I am today.  I would summarise them in 5 words : Identity, Confidence, Humility, Resilience and Adaptability.   These five lessons have carried me through thick and thin through my university life and now my career in banking, and I believe that this combination of lessons is unique to the St Catherine’s education and have played a significant role in my achievements so far.  I had a great time at St Cat’s while working hard for my GCSEs and A levels, but I made many close friends for life who I am still in touch with.  In my 4 years at St Cat's I went from a really simple, 14 year old to a mature young lady, more sure of my own abilities and aspirations, and more ready for the next stage in my life."  Xylona Lam, Alumna, Year of 2013

"Our daughter worked hard but without undue pressure, encouraged by passionate, first-class teachers whose enthusiasm for their subject is evident and who seem to know just how to get the best out of each girl!  Thank you to all the whole School community that make such academic results possible, whilst enjoying a whole host of extra-curricular fun!"​   Mr Farthing, Current Parent, 2024

"Lucky girls, amazing facilities and inspirational staff.  Although busy the School totally suits my daughter and can see how her love of school and learning has developed through St Cat’s!"​  Jo Campbell, Current Parent, 2024

"Massively impressed with the dedicated passionate teaching & the breadth of the St Cat’s offering!"​  Lucy Hayward, Current Parent, 2024

"The girls success in sport is a reflection of the effort and support the school puts into such activities as much as the girls' talent, work and determination. For that we are grateful."  Mrs Rusu-Williams, Current Parent, 2023

"St Catherine’s is a hidden gem and has exceeded all our expectations, which is a rare thing these days. In our experience our daughter’s inner confidence has grown so much and now she believes anything is achievable. At age 15 she is ready to take on the world, thanks to the journey she has been on with St Catherine’s.“  Mr Webster, Current Parent, 2023
