Thank you to our wonderful parent and alumnae supporters who have contributed over £234,000 to our fabulous new Art & MakerSpace @ The John Palmer Centre. Opened in September 2022, the girls are loving their new Textiles Studios and the MasterChef style Culinary Arts Studio. The professional Dark Room and Photographic Studio are inspiring young minds and the Sixth Form are taking up residence at their easels in their Sixth Form Art Atelier!
If you'd like to join the community of support, there is still time, do get in touch with Jane Pink at development@stcatherines.info or 01483 899787.
We are inviting parents to enjoy the Art & MakerSpace too by joining one of our three Creative Circles. You can celebrate with us the power of creativity and imagination.
Are you a resourceful Imagineer, visualising concepts and working with others to realise them? Join the Imagineer's Circle.
Or are you a Designer, imagining solutions which are both useful and beautiful? Connect with the Designer's Circle.
Do you see yourself as a Creator, developing ideas and bringing them into existence? Be part the Creator's Circle.
Whichever Circle you choose to join, your gift will help us to create an environment in which self-expression, creativity and confidence will grow alongside a sense of individual identity. We are looking for donors to join a Creative Circle with a gift of £4,000.
When you join a Creative Circle you will receive early notice of events and activities in the Art & Makerspace community; join us for gallery viewings; creative workshops and enjoy the direction of our teachers who are professional artists in their own right. Whether you choose to join us as an Imagineer, a Creator or a Designer we would be delighted to welcome you to the St Cat’s creative community where your support will ensure that girls enjoy the very best Creative Arts experience in a wonderful new space.
To learn more about the Creative Circles please contact jane.pink@stcatherines.info or call 01483 899787.

We welcome the opportunity to thank those who make charitable gifts to St Catherine's School. All supporters all recognised in our online Donor Roll either by name or anonymously as is their preference. We also acknowledge gifts in our annual Impact of Giving Report. To recognise the impact of philanthropy across the School we also thank alumnae, parents and friends through plaques in new facilities and spaces and are pleased to acknowledge generous support in this way. This practice also encourages the community as a whole to consider their support.
Gifts to the St Catherine's Community
The Board of Governors of St Catherine’s welcome offers of donations of all sizes to St Catherine’s, whether in connection with specific campaigns or to the Annual Fund, thus enabling continuing development over the long term. Donations must be freely given with no expectation of anything in return other than due thanks and recognition. The Governors’ are pleased to accept lawful donations which are given in good faith and which are compatible with the School’s aims, values and strategic objectives. As the School values and safeguards its autonomy, integrity and reputation, the Governors do not accept donations when a condition of acceptance would compromise these fundamental principles. The Acceptance of Donations Policy is available on request from the Development Director.
Tax Efficient Giving
A gift of £5,000 made by a 40% tax payer will cost the donor £3,750 and be worth £6,250 to the School. A gift of £20,000 made by a 40% tax payer will cost the donor £15,000 and be worth £25,000 to the School. You can add your charitable donations on your tax return and claim back the tax.
Gift Aid - Allows the School to claim an additional 25p for each £1 you donate from the Government at no additional cost to you, this makes your donation worth even more.
Matched Giving - you can double your impact with your gift through an employer matched-giving scheme.
Payroll Giving - you can choose to give a gift to St Catherine's monthly as you earn, it is paid before tax and national insurance and so is very tax efficient; your payroll department will provide a form if this is available.
