On her terms

We’ve got one focus: girls. Their needs, their ambitions, their voices. No distractions, for us or them. A school tailored for success on their terms.

St Helen and St Katharine is a school where bright girls with enquiring minds thrive, as they grow into intellectually curious and erudite young women. Academic life is full, vibrant and spirited: the best within and beyond the classroom combine to stimulate intellectual endeavour and inquisitive independence which embody the ethos of our school.

A sense of purposeful fun

We take being silly very seriously and ensure students have the opportunity to take a break. Dressing up days, Silly Olympics or simply a hot chocolate around the campfire give students the chance to go off-curriculum and take part in activities which are different from their academic studies. This is just as much a part of a fully-rounded education as what happens in the classroom.
