"Rosie had a FANTASTIC first day! Thank you to all and icing on the cake to get a little note from her teacher at lunchtime! I had to stop Rosie tonight with all the exciting day 1 feedback “…and this happened …and we did this…my new friends….” As it got to 8.30pm, I needed her to get to sleep! Roll on tomorrow!"
Mrs Campbell, Current Parent, 2023
"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
"We just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how impressed we’ve been with (and how much our daughter has enjoyed) a couple of lessons she has had lately. The science lesson which turned the class into a team from CSI using chromatography to figure out which teacher’s pen had been used to write the suspicious note was a stroke of absolute genius! Similarly, her geography lesson which had the girls taking on all the roles within the fair trade banana supply chain sounds brilliant. We heard all about the concerns and interests of everyone in the process and a real understanding of the tensions and pressures involved. Hearing our daughter explain that the banana shippers really didn’t want to have to buy the bananas sounds like there could have been some very serious microeconomics woven in there as well."
Mr and Mrs Kneale, Current Parents, 2023
"All the little St Cat’s girls are so polite, enthusiastic and eloquent! It really is a wonderful school throughout."
Kirsty Stancombe, Baby Cats visitor with her young toddler and an Alumna, June 2023
"St Catherine's has been very welcoming to us as a family. Our girls settled in immediately and are very happy at School. It has been wonderful to see their confidence and love of learning grow alongside the nurturing relationship with their teachers."
Mrs Lloyd, PPI Current Parent, May 2023
"It has been an absolute joy to watch my daughters immerse themselves in the many and varied Music, Art, Science and Sporting extra-curricular activities on offer. Not only has their self-confidence grown by being able to sign up and ‘have a go’, they have also been able to develop new skills, improve on existing interests and are so excited and grateful to have the opportunity to try such a huge variety of activities."
Mrs Bishop, Current Parent, May 2023
"We've found St Catherine’s Prep to be warm, nurturing and academically challenging in equal measures and our daughter is flourishing as a result. What we particularly liked when choosing St Cats was that the Prep School truly has its own identity whilst having all the benefits of a through school. The sense of community was also a big tick. The staff's level of professionalism, responsiveness and kindness have all exceeded expectations too. We could not be more happy with our choice and the PP1 journey so far."
Mr and Mrs Matthews, Current Parents, May 2023
"My daughter's educational journey could not have got off to a more positive start, far exceeding our not insignificant expectations. There has not been a single day that she has not raced through the school gate with delight and come home full of enthusiasm for the learning, activities and fun of the day. Her growing knowledge, curiosity about the world and new-found confidence are testament to a team of educators who know exactly what they are doing.“
Mr and Mrs Vivian, Current Parents, May 2023
"Cat Class was a wonderful introduction for our daughters to get to know the school and made both us and the girls already feel a part of the St Cat’s community.“
Mrs Lloyd, Cat Class Parent, June 2022
"We chose the School for our daughter based on its reputation for results, coupled with a strong, deserved reputation for pastoral care.“
Mr Ian Kilpatrick, Current Parent, 2023
"Both of our daughters have been through the Prep School; our younger daughter is now in Year 6, and as parents we are approaching the end of our Prep School years with sadness. From the very first term, St Catherine’s has offered both girls the individual support, challenges and opportunities each has needed to thrive. The staff have been exceptional at tailoring their pastoral and academic support to each of our daughters; their dedication in finding the right approach for each child throughout their time at the school is a hallmark of their desire to achieve the best for each of their pupils. The ethos and outward-looking community spirit of the school have helped prepare our daughters not only for life at senior school, but for life outside of school, and for that we are immensely thankful."
Mr and Mrs Mallin-Jones, Current Parents, 2022
"Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her first year at St Catherine’s and is often excited to be back in school after weekends and school holidays. She has made a lot of new friends, learnt to be more independent and is happy with her school. As parents, we are relieved, knowing that the school suits her and we look forward to many more happy years as she progresses through the school."
Mr and Mrs Araga, Current Parents, 2022
"We have been very happy with how Camelia has grown in confidence over the last year, she has been enjoying going to school every day and has made wonderful friends."
Dr Montazeri and Dr Kobravi, Current Parents, 2022
"We’ve seen our girls thrive, their abilities growing in step with increased confidence. Our daughter, age 6, announced ‘I can be Prime Minister’ whilst watching the Jubilee celebrations – this self-belief has been nurtured at St Cat’s. The School effectively blends being academic yet nurturing. A real selling point are the specialist teachers and incredible facilities shared with the Senior School . There is a strong sense of parent:School partnership – the teachers know every girl and care for her as an individual. The girls also look after each other, the older girls taking responsibility to care for and support the younger ones, sharing their skills and School experience. The sense of community is wonderful – from listening to Informal Concerts and joining PTA social events, to offering careers talks to Senior girls – the community is welcoming, supportive and valuable. We would recommend St Catherine’s with confidence."
Dr and Mrs Lowe, Current Parents, 2022
"We are delighted with our daughter's progress this academic year. She is very interested in performing arts and music. We hope the School can nurture her passions in this area. Many thanks to Miss Jefford’s dedicated teaching."
Dr Ong and Mr Leong, Current Parents, 2022
"St Cat’s have given our daughter immense confidence and an excellent environment, we will always be thankful to you for that."
Mrs Akbar and Mr Khan, Past Parents, 2022
"Our daughter enjoys School and I am really pleased with how well the first year has gone. Her reading, writing and counting have all improved. Huge thanks to Miss Jefford and the team for helping her reach her potential."
Mrs Jones, Current Parent, 2022
"My daughter has thrived since being at St Catherine’s and this is all thanks to the amazing support of an amazing team. Any new family can rest assured they will have a well-rounded, strong, independent daughter showing kindness and thoughtfulness. And one able to thrive as an individual in an environment where their own strengths are always embraced."
Prep School parent, Mrs Blanche Koche 2021
"At St Catherine’s Prep school the girls are not only taught academics, but also confidence and a strong sense of community. The range of sports, clubs, trips and other activities gives them a huge number of amazing opportunities in a friendly and encouraging environment. Importantly all of this takes place with a real sense of fun – they enjoy what they do at School and come home smiling and excited every day."
Prep School parent, Mrs Cardy 2021
"St Catherine’s greatest strength is its ability to bring out the best in each girl in her own way, by seeing and appreciating what makes them unique and amplifying it."
Prep School parent, Frances Cushway 2021
“St Cats offers an inspirational setting for all girls to flourish and learn, with fabulous facilities which support their academic, musical, sporting and pastoral development. Always forward thinking, but underpinned by a clear commitment to the traditions which form the bedrock of school life, the highly experienced leadership team is ably supported by excellent teaching staff at both Prep and Senior level.
Entrusting your child’s education to one school for the majority of their formative years takes a leap of faith and a measure of trust in how they will be cared for, nurtured, encouraged and educated. From Form 1 to Upper 6, both of our daughters have received the very best academic and extra-curricular education at St Cats which has enabled them to become formidable young women who now step forward into adult life with confidence, clarity of purpose and above all kindness and respect for others.”
Parents of 2019 and 2022 students, Mr and Mrs Nott, 2022
“Both our daughters have thrived in the Prep School; two very different individuals who have loved their time at school, become independent learners and grown to be confident girls ready to embrace their next chapters.
I know that it’s a whole team that support the St Cat’s journey for any family, as we all know it takes a village to raise a child, but I wanted to take a moment to recognise you Miss Bartholomew. The leadership that you bring to that team. As a figure head you inspire not only your team, but the girls as well to become independent, confident individuals with kindness at their core.”
Mrs Bride, Past Parent of Prep, Current Parent of Senior, 2022
"We are absolutely delighted that our daughter has been awarded The Bryden Cup for Physical Education, we look forward to joining her on the day to collect the Cup. Thank you for all your support this year in helping her to achieve this, as with any good athlete there will always be a talented and hugely successful team of coaches working alongside. Her love for sport shines and may it long continue."
Mr and Mrs Thomson, Current Parents, 2023
"It’s so amazing to receive this great news of our daughter achieving a Grade 8 Distinction on flute. It’s her “first” time to get such a good grade. Thanks for your kind teaching. She has been given many chances to nurture her music passion throughout various kinds of performance this year."
Mrs Wong, Current Parent, 2023
"My daughter and I would both like to say thank you so much for everything you have done for her in U3 - I hope as you saw, she absolutely loved being in the intermediate orchestra and your help with all the theory is hugely helpful for us. We both wanted to let you know that your support and encouragement to keep the music going really is deeply appreciated."
Mrs Cardy, Current Parent, 2023
"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
"In the car this evening I was greeted by a very enthusiastic daughter who was showing me her Morrisby profile, how it worked, how it suggested careers, analysed her strengths, how she’d saved career ideas and then telling me how she was going to try and research them and find out more. Clearly impressive software, easy for the girls to use and review and the right level of content to intrigue them and encourage them to consider their future career options. Thank you for giving them this opportunity in L5 to profile their strengths and for training them in this tool – it has clearly sparked some ideas!"
Ms Carter, Current Parent, 2023
"Our daughter has loved every moment of her studies at St Catherine's, making friends from the start and enthusiastically participating in the rough and tumble of competitive team games, especially Lacrosse and Netball. Whilst of course an important part of the success of St Catherine's stems from the wonderful facilities on offer, nonetheless even more important will surely have been the excellent academic and pastoral support the school provides; any routine difficulties which may have arisen in day-to-day school life have been swiftly resolved, meaning that our daughter's studies have progressed apace from the outset, particularly in Latin, Maths and the Sciences.“
Mr and Mrs Norris, Current Parents, 2023
"We chose the School for our daughter based on its reputation for results, coupled with a strong, deserved reputation for pastoral care.“
Mr Ian Kilpatrick, 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
"We liked the straightforward ethos of the school: to always be kind and considerate to others going out into the wider world as good citizens.“
Mr & Mrs Turner, Current Parents, 2023
"St Cat’s is very much about giving girls the chance to find, and shine at, their ‘thing’.“
Current Parent, 2023
"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
"Our daughter is loving Sixth Form, and absolutely loving boarding. She has 4 University offers and waiting to hear from Edinburgh. The whole family were at the House Communion on Sunday which was a wonderful morning. We will all miss the school when our daughter moves on."
Current Parents, 2023
"Thank you so much for organising and leading the Cambridge University visit for girls interested in Oxbridge applications. My daughter came home absolutely buzzing from visiting Colleges and meeting with St Cat’s alumnae currently studying there. She is more motivated than ever to do well in her exams. I am hugely grateful to you for sacrificing your entire Saturday in order to run this trip."
Mrs Salford, Current Parent, 2023
"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
"St Catherine’s is a wonderful school and we’re so happy to have sent our daughter to this lovely place as a boarder. It’s sad that her time there is now almost over given how happy she feels at St Cats and how much she has developed during her time at the school, having constantly grown in confidence and enjoying the time with her friends, particularly now in ‘The 6’ the fantastic new Sixth Form accommodation and social space."
Mr and Mrs Zundel, Current Parents, 2022
"Thank you so much for arranging the wonderful concert last night! Our daughter had such a great experience and was most inspired. What lovely, talented and down to earth performers! We will remember that night for a long time."
Mr and Mrs Walton, Current Parents, 2022
"A rather late but still big thank you for organising the woodwind and brass festival. Due to school holidays and commitments, my parents have never been around to come and watch a concert and they were so pleased to be able to watch the rehearsal of the concert band. They do watch the concerts online but the experience is nothing compared to the live ones. They loved it. I also really enjoyed it; it is great to be able to see how a band/orchestra piece is rehearsed. A big thank you as well to Mr Young to accept us in the audience. As always, the woodwind and brass concert was brilliant. So many talented girls - and staff members. We are really looking forward to the next 2 weeks with all the excellent musical events coming. A very busy time of the year!"
Mr and Mrs Duggan, Current Parents, 2022
"Both of our daughters have been through the Prep School; our younger daughter is now in Year 6, and as parents we are approaching the end of our Prep School years with sadness.

"What an absolutely magnificent education my children are getting, it is a joy to see them come out of school bursting with excitement and enthusiasm about their learning."
Ms Forder, Current Parent, 2022
"Our daughter has really enjoyed her time in The 6. She has made so many friends from all corners of the world. She has been lucky to have the support of all the boarding staff as well as her teachers."
Mr and Mrs Riddy, Past Parents,2022
"We have come back down to earth now after the immense anticipation and excitement of (the GCSE exam results) yesterday! This really goes to all our daughter's teachers; as parents we would like to send heartfelt thanks to St Catherine’s for the incredible teaching, guidance and support that she has received over the last 3 years, which has enabled her to do so well. Eight 9s and two 8s - over the moon doesn’t cover it! A 9 in History, being her favourite subject, was a personal goal too. She is really happy and really looking forward to The 6. St Catherine's has been all about building our daughter’s self-belief whilst giving her access to so many wonderful and diverse opportunities. A few years ago she may have held back or hesitated, and now we see her throwing herself into literally everything she can - Gold DofE, Philanthropy, school plays, netball, lacrosse, fundraising, House events; it's so great to see this."
Senior School Parents, Mr and Mrs Martin, 2022
"We are writing to thank you and your team for the wonderful experience and education Grace has had while she has been at St Cat’s.
Thank you and your wonderful team once again for enabling Grace to leave school with an excellent set of academics, a supportive and close group of friends and wonderful memories of her school life."
Mr and Mrs A, Parents of Grace (Year of 2022)
"Having been out of the school for so long (due to pandemic restrictions), "Oliver!" was a much needed reminder of how much we love the school."
Senior School Parent, Mrs Brown, 2022
"All the boarding housemistresses and personal tutors provide my daughter with excellent pastoral care. As a result my daughter considers her boarding house as her second home getting on with both fellow boarders and day pupils alike."
Senior School Parent, Mrs Chan, 2022
"The pastoral care is excellent … the school has supported our girls every step of the way. They are continually looking out for them and the communication by their form tutors, head of house, and tutors has been invaluable in making the girls feel safe and looked after. "
Senior School Parent, Mrs Strode, 2022
"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
"Whilst the school produces exceptional academic results, my experience is that it is achieved through encouragement and support from the staff and the focus on an all-round educational experience, including extra-curricular activities and fostering a sense of community, which surpasses the desire for just achieving academic results."
Senior School parent, Mrs Waghorn 2021
"Girls have an identity, an empowered sense of being but not an arrogant approach, the girls are so supportive of each other it creates an environment where they give it a go; the pastoral care is second to none."
Senior School parent, Mr B Webster 2021
"The school encourages my daughters to look beyond what they think they should do, to what they could do if they set their minds and hearts to it."
Senior School parent, Mrs Thompson 2021
"My daughter has totally absorbed herself in, and loved, school life and its myriad of opportunities. She has grown in confidence, made life-long friends, been able to make the most of her abilities and discovered many new interests through being encouraged to “give it a go” – a luxury that many schools are simply unable to offer. "
Senior School parent of 2021 Leaver, Mrs P
"For my part I am so grateful that she is so well cared for by you and that she is noticed and is therefore finding herself. Thank you so very much."
Senior School parent, Mrs McMonigall 2021
"We are grateful to St Catherine's for instilling such a strong sense of self-belief in a lady at such an early age. "
Senior School parent, Mrs T Epshteyn 2021
"We have watched our daughter meander through the senior school, quietly picking up and storing small confidences along the way. ‘Meander’ maybe isn’t a good description, time has flown and suddenly we are almost at the end of L6, and goodness what a year. It has been an absolute joy to watch her find her feet this year and alongside many beautiful characteristics, the seed of self-confidence has taken hold. It is as though she has now gathered all those little moments and thrown them in the air whilst shouting ‘ta-da, here I am!’"
Current parents, Mr and Mrs Cookson 2022
"May my wife and I take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to you and all the wonderful staff at St Catherine’s school, for the superb teaching and nurturing environment which have greatly benefited our daughter. She has thoroughly enjoyed school from the first day. We are thrilled to see her thriving and morphing into a young lady who has made significant progress in all areas as the academic year draws to a close. Thank you for everything."
Current parents, Mr and Mrs Palmer 2022
“Joining St Catherine’s has given my daughter a wealth of opportunities to develop new and exciting interests. From participating in the informal music concerts, which boost the girls’ confidence, learning to play the harp and passing Grade 1 within the year, attending LAMDA and Design & Technology classes to joining netball and tennis clubs. As Year 8 approaches I hear, “I can’t wait to return and try the new ceramics club”. Whatever their interests, there is something for everyone.”
Current parent, Mrs Lofthouse-Jackson LVO 2022
"I wanted to write to thank you Mrs Phillips, for the last 7 years I spent at the Senior School. From U3 – U6 your guidance, lessons and values have shaped me into the young woman I am today. I know all of the girls would agree. This School will always hold a special place in my heart."
Molly Newman, Alumna, Year of 2022
"Thanks to you I now have a job at ‘Somewhere’ agency with Danni Alves-Braithwaite (Year of 2000) as a consequence of the Internship I did last summer with help from the Association. They’ve taken on a few new employees as a result of the growing agency which now represents 12 brands; I’m really enjoying the work, so I really appreciate all of your help!"
Maddie Wakefield, Alumna, Year of 2020
"I left School in 2021 but it’s great to still feel part of the St Cat’s Community via the Association and all they have to offer."
Grace Heath, Alumna, Year of 2021
"I’m in my 2nd year at Nottingham University. The Association has already been invaluable to me. They helped me connect with alumnae when I was choosing unis and degree courses, I’ve attended a university social gathering which they arranged, and I’ve been to a couple of London networking events for younger alumnae which have been so useful and interesting. It’s so lovely to still feel connected to St Catherine’s and it’s always great to catch up with other alumnae and former staff!"
Millie Francis, Alumna, Year of 2021
"All the little St Cat’s girls are so polite, enthusiastic and eloquent! It really is a wonderful school throughout."

Sarah, Alumna, Year of 2022
"I really enjoyed making the most of the incredible opportunities and facilities in the music department at St Catherine’s. It has led me to peruse contemporary music at university and the skills I developed at School prepared me well for performing with other musicians. I really appreciate the encouragement I got to do what I really love at BIMM Institute.“
Mimi, Alumna, Year of 2022
"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Gala Concert last night. It brought back so many amazing memories of my time at St Cat’s. You all did such a wonderful job and what you do for the girls is honestly so amazing. I know when they grow up they will look back on everything you did for them with so much gratitude. It was also so lovely to see you all again and catch up, I will 100% be back because apparently, I just can’t seem to leave…"
Alumna, Antonia, Year of 2021
“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
"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 remember throughout my time at St Catherine’s we would often have courageous and inspirational people come to talk to us. I never felt like the sort of person that would be so adventurous and brave, but the point of those talks was not to get us all to become dare-devils and explorers, but to give us the courage to do what was in our hearts."
Alumna, Katherine, Year of 2005
"St Catherine's has been the perfect place for me, I've grown up and I'm happy to say that I'm proud of the person I have become and I couldn't have got here without the school, the teachers, the friends, the opportunities and your constant support."

Georgia, Boarder

Everyone really comes into their own and it is such a good way to develop and grow as a person."
Grace, Boarder
"I really enjoy the extra independence that boarding in The 6 has given me. I have far more time in the evenings, meaning I can do homework and relax with friends."

Emma, Boarder
"I appreciate the mental separation from work space and break space. e.g the SHLIB (Sixth Form Library) is for working and The 6 is for relaxing."
