St Catherine’s, Bramley

You want your daughter to achieve academically, but you want her to be intelligent in more ways – to be confident socially, to have a strong moral compass, to shape the world around her.

At St Catherine’s we support your daughter in building the intellect and character that will help her develop as a bright, confident and vibrant individual. At the heart of this is developing a sense of self-belief, that she can achieve whatever she is driven do to in life.

Art, Drama, Music and Sport flourish with enjoying outstanding on-site facilities including Sports Hall, indoor pool, impressive auditorium and extensive grounds. Extra-curricular opportunities abound with so many clubs and activities girls are never bored.

The highly successful House system ensures a friendly and supportive environment. Everyone, boarder or day girl, feels part of the whole. Boarding fosters a strong respect and care for others and gives girls the confidence to develop their independence and their own sense of style. The School opened in Spring 2021 a brand new boarding house and social space for the Sixth Form called The 6.

The advantages of girls’ schools are legion –girls achieve better examination results and also have more leadership opportunities. Girls are more likely to continue the STEM subjects at A level than in mixed schools. The St Catherine’s Association comprising thousands of alumnae, parents, and friends of the School gives the girls access to invaluable careers’ advice and opportunities for work experience.

Academic results place us comfortably in the premier girls’ independent boarding schools in the UK. The curriculum is designed to ensure it has breadth and variety. Our very impressive Destinations of Leavers’ data is testament to the excellent outcomes at A Level, enabling our Sixth Formers to go to their chosen universities, in the UK and worldwide, and feel well prepared to take on new challenges.

The Anniversary Halls sports and performing arts complex houses a multi-function sports hall and professional dance studio as well as a superb auditorium for concerts and theatrical productions. Girls can choose from around 15 different sports which they can commit to and enjoy at their own level. Numerous choirs, Wind Band, String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Brass Ensemble represent some of the musical groups girls enjoy. Musicians benefit from superb acoustics and a full orchestra pit. Girls can master skills in stage design, lighting and sound. They enjoy learning ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance in St Catherine’s professional dance school. Art, Chess, Debating, Sailing, Equestrianism, Young Enterprise, community projects, Charity fund-raising and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme feature in a long list of extra-curricular activities.

A warm welcome awaits you.
