Description

St Catherine’s is a Catholic girls’ school set beside the beautiful river Thames, in Twickenham for kids aged 3 to 18. They have over 100 years’ experience in independent education and welcome girls of all faiths and backgrounds to our happy, vibrant community where they will grow in self-confidence and experience success.

Facilities

  • In 1919 the Convent and School moved to the present site of Pope’s Villa, with its buildings and grounds on both sides of Cross Deep joined by the underground passage known as Pope’s Grotto. By 1920 there were 100 children in the school of whom approximately 20 were boarders.
  • From the late 1940s, the grounds were extensively developed to include a spacious hall, more teaching facilities and a swimming pool.
  • In 1991 the Sisters of Mercy moved out of St Catherine’s, after 77 years of dedicated service. They sold the river side site and a charitable trust was set up by the parents, who purchased the garden site and appointed the first lay Headmistress in order to ensure that the school would continue to thrive.
  • The new century saw the extension of the Prep School, a new Sixth Form Centre, improved sports and changing facilities, and new facilities for Art, Photography, Food Technology, History and Science. By 2011 St Catherine’s boasted brand new dining facilities as well as more teaching areas.
  • The school has 440 pupils at present, with 110 in the Prep School and 330 in the Senior School. The charism of the Sisters of Mercy is still very much alive as was evident when we celebrated 100 years of excellence in ‘Mercy’ education in 2014.
  • As they move into the next 100 years, they continue to plan further developments, which will include upgrading the Sports facilities and the Music Department in the quest to help girls find enjoyment and success in everything they do at St Catherine’s.
