St Catherine's School is an Independent Day school for girls aged 3 - 16. It was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1914 and in 1991 the School became an Educational Charity managed by Trustees and Governors. St Catherine's maintains its Catholic foundation but welcomes children of other denominations. The school is situated in a residential part of Twickenham and is well served by public transport and our own coach from Fulham.
St Catherine's has a fine record for the education of girls. As a small school we provide a solid academic education combined with a supportive, friendly atmosphere. Pupils are encouraged to have a broad range of interests, and PE and Music are strong. As a Catholic School, Religious Education is important and there is a commitment to the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy, however, non-Catholic pupils are welcomed. There are excellent facilities and considerable space including a large heated indoor swimming pool, Music Hall, a Multi-Purpose Hall, Science Centre and Language Rooms. The school playing fields include a hockey pitch and hard tennis courts and netball courts.
Prior to entry into the Junior Department, all applicants take an assessment test and interview. Entry to the Senior Department is by a competitive Entrance Examination and interview, which are held in January each year for entry in the following September.
Boys can be admitted in the Infant classes.
St Catherine's Catholic School is a charitable trust set up to provide high quality education in a Christian environment.
