The Art & MakerSpace

Thank you to our wonderful parents, friend 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 Studio!

You can still support the Creative Arts and join our philanthropic community. Do get in touch with Jane Pink at development@stcatherines.info or +44 1483 899787

“Creativity is vital for everyone … from decision making, to learning through experimentation, making mistakes and learning from them, as well as developing aesthetic skills. Creativity is vital for a rounded and balanced education."

Alex Perry-Adlam, Head of Art at St Catherine’s School

The Impact

Thanks to you, girls now enjoy …

A new home for the Creative Arts, enabling connected teaching from specialist teachers in a single hub
A place from which girls of all ages will benefit, whether as part of their Creative Arts rotation or as a chosen subject at GCSE and A Level
The opportunity for Prep School girls from Form 1 to explore Ceramics, Design Technology and Culinary Arts in the same space as Senior School girls
A large textiles studio equipped for exploring a range of hot and cold fabric dyeing techniques
An ergonomically designed and fully equipped Culinary Arts studio
A permanent exhibition space to showcase the work of girls of all ages, as well as visiting artists and Artists in Residence
An extended Photographic Studio and darkroom
A dedicated Art History studio and library, promoting an examination and understanding of the broader aspects of visual culture
A dedicated Sixth Form Atelier allowing space to work expansively
The opportunity for involvement in the Royal Academy Schools and Saatchi Gallery Programmes
The chance to welcome University Art Departments and showcase MA courses
The chance to participate as a Surrey Open Studio

Why it matters?

Imagination, problem-solving, design-thinking, creativity and self-expression are key to a rounded education.
Textiles are inspired by fine art, photography and fashion are linked, design technology influences ceramics - the subjects connect as our spaces do!
Girls’ canvas sizes are now longer restricted due to the display space – they want to work expansively and now they can!
Our new spaces mean girls work - from across the year groups - is celebrated on our walls and in the Exhibition Space.

Creative Circles

Creative Circles have been established to provide opportunities for us to invite you - parents, friends and alumnae - into the wonderful new Art & MakerSpace @ The John Palmer Centre, where you can explore and create!

"Joining a creative circle gives you an amazing insight into the way the talented staff make cross-creative synergies from the new space and is an opportunity to experience first-hand the skills the girls receive in these disciplines as well as meet other parents, alumni and staff who are all passionate about the benefits of the Creative Arts for our girls and future generations. It is exciting to see and hear future plans too."

A current St Catherine's parent

"A donation gives ongoing support to the new Art & MakerSpace and helps girls throughout the school gain skills, qualifications as well as relaxation and mental wellbeing through developing life-long potential hobbies. Support of the Creative Arts at St Cat's even allows for the opportunity for girls to take part as a subsidiary subject for fun in sixth form to enjoy a break from study pressures and learn skills such as cookery for future university days"

A current St Catherine's parent

When you join a Creative Circle you become part of our creative community. You will join us for gallery viewings and workshops; see for yourself the wonderful work being created by your daughters across all the Creative Arts; and be invited to lectures and discussion groups, including exclusive access to talks from visiting speakers. Priority booking for Creative Circle events is always given to members of our circles. Once we have offered spaces to members, any remaining availability may be made more widely available.

We continue to welcome members with a gift of £4000, payable either as a single gift or in regular annual or monthly payments. You can read more about this exciting opportunity to support creativity at St Catherines by clicking on the image to the left or contact Jane Pink on +44 01483 899787 or email jane.pink@stcatherines.info.

Recognition

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.
