Whether you are visiting the site as a prospective parent, or an existing or past member of the School, we hope you will find everything you need and will enjoy looking in on a thriving School Community. St Catherine’s is an academically selective Church of England School with a strong focus on roundedness. It offers all its pupils access to a first-rate education in the broadest sense. There are approximately 900 pupils, aged 4 - 18, including some 270 in the Preparatory School, 120 boarders in the Senior School (boarding is from 11+), and 175 in the Sixth Form. Founded in 1885 as a girls’ school for day and boarding pupils, the School’s traditions are well established. The first hundred and thirty years of its history reflect the School’s steady evolution into a forward-looking educational establishment for girls and young women which still retains the best values of the past whilst embracing new educational approaches and committing to preparing young women for their ongoing education and lives beyond School. In September 2015 the School celebrated its 130th Anniversary and remains proud of its past and optimistic for its future. In 2014 we were proud to welcome Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall, on a visit during which she officially opened the 125th Anniversary Halls and the refurbished Speech Hall Library. Her links with the School go back to her great, great grandfather, Lord Ashcombe, one of our Founders, and in 2015 we were delighted that she agreed to become our Patron. Set in the beautiful countryside of the Surrey Hills, 3 miles south of Guildford, the School’s 25-acre campus in the village of Bramley, boasts up-to-date facilities - all on-site - as well as attractive boarding accommodation for Senior School pupils. Our pupils enjoy outstanding success in every field - academic, sporting, cultural - and we are proud of all that we help them to achieve. We then watch with equal pride the many things that our alumnae go on to achieve in their lives and professional careers beyond School and welcome them back warmly as lifelong members of the St. Catherine’s Association who provide invaluable career input and networks for our current pupils. By creating an environment in which their confidence can grow, we ensure that our girls thrive. How do we create such an exceptional environment? By treating each girl as an individual, by constant encouragement, and by striving to ensure that every pupil is happy at school. St. Catherine’s is about education in its broadest sense. Moreover, as a girls' school, St Catherine's ensures that its students develop in an environment that suggests to them in everything they see around them that there is nothing that a woman cannot achieve. We believe that St Catherine's girls are well placed to pursue their further education when they leave school at eighteen as independent, sensible, caring, and competent young women who will have much to offer in life. We provide sound advice and guidance on further education and careers and we prepare them to take their place as citizens of the world. Academic results are important - the school is comfortably placed in the infamous league tables - but we believe that there is much more to an all-around education for the young women of the 21st century. Our hallmarks are the breadth of the opportunity afforded to our students and the special atmosphere of support and encouragement. The philosophy that happiness at school is the key to success and enjoyment for each individual underpins everything we do. View full school

St Catherine’s in Twickenham combines over 100 years of experience in Independent education with a modern curriculum that prepares our students for success in the 21st Century. We are a Catholic girls’ school where every person is a valued member of a happy, vibrant community, comprising students from much different faith and ethnic backgrounds. We need to be a caring and supportive community in which students are happy, confident, and inspired to meet challenges. Our school motto ‘Non-Verba sed Facta’ (Not Words but Deeds) is the bedrock of who and what we are: words are important, but they are not enough it is ‘doing’ that so often shows that we mean what we say. St Catherine’s girls are certainly ‘doers’ they involve themselves enthusiastically and wholeheartedly in everything, which strengthens them as individuals but also deepens the community spirit which is tangible when you walk through the school gates. The usual ages of entry are 3, 11, and 16. Occasional vacancies occur at other ages. Early registration is advised for entry at all ages. There are Open Afternoons and Evenings throughout the year to which we invite prospective pupils and their parents. Visits can also be arranged at other times. The school can accept applications from any area and is happy to accept advance registrations for younger children at any time. Pupils of other ages may also be accepted into the school, particularly if their family has moved into the area. Parents and pupils are invited to visit the school and meet the staff. Arrangements are then made for pupil assessment, which will become more formal depending on the age of the pupil. Information regarding the pupil's current education is required before an offer of a place being made and the school will request a reference from the pupil's current school. Most pupils from our Prep department will proceed into the Senior School. For all candidates, entry to the Senior School is by written examination in January, before entry in September. Applicants take one-hour papers in Mathematics and English. All papers are designed to bring out the skills and potential of the candidates, whatever they may have covered in the past. Places are offered based on performance in the examination, a report from the girl's present school, and an informal interview with the Headmistress. Central to everything that we do in Prep is our belief that every child is an individual with different curriculum strengths and talents. Our broad, balanced, and challenging curriculum ensures that all our pupils make excellent progress academically while ensuring that our pupils thrive in a nurturing and caring environment. We pride ourselves on our reputation as a school where academic, musical, sporting, and creative abilities are enhanced and celebrated and where our pupils are provided with opportunities to develop all their talents. The Sixth Form at St Catherine’s is a place of academic rigor, where girls are encouraged to develop their thinking and to stretch themselves. At the same time, we offer a supportive and nurturing environment, enabling each girl to feel confident in moving outside of her comfort zone. Our Sixth Form is a real community a place where each girl can come of age, both intellectually and socially. The Sixth Form experience has been tailored to meet the needs of young women in today’s society. It has been well-proven that girls thrive academically in a single-sex environment. With the company of other like-minded individuals, they can pursue their academic goals free from distraction. The uptake of STEM subjects by girls is much higher in single-sex schools, and girls are also able to have the confidence to speak out and be heard. The Senior School has three forms each year, with a maximum of twenty students in each form. A third of the girls who join the Senior School in Year 7 come from our own Prep Department, which has one form in each year, while two-thirds come from other preparatory and primary schools. Some students are admitted into other year groups at different times, depending on availability. Teaching is organized in academic departments, the heads of which report to the Headmistress and the Director of Studies. Student's academic progress is closely monitored and parents receive four grade sheets and two detailed reports throughout the year as well as having a formal opportunity to meet their daughter's teachers every year to discuss progress. Higher Education and Careers advice is provided throughout the Senior School, with more focused guidance leading up to and during the process of selecting and applying to university. The School has an extensive extra-curricular program, encompassing sport and other physical activities, the creative and performing arts including music, drama, and community service. Experiences outside the classroom allow our students to learn, have fun and develop new and productive relationships with their peers, their teachers, and other adults. The activities offer an important opportunity for our students to develop their skills and to experience competition and teamwork. Activities may vary from season to season and from year to year and depend also on the interests of the students and teachers at the school. Every student belongs to one of four Houses which compete regularly in a variety of activities. View full school

St. Catherine’s is a denominational primary school built in 1966 which serves the South East of Edinburgh. The school catchment area comprises the areas of Gracemount and Burdiehouse. The current school roll is approximately 206. There are seven classes in the school, P1 – P7. The current nursery roll is approximately 40. There are two classes in the nursery (Morning and Afternoon). We are committed to helping all our students reach their full potential by fostering a common vision that embraces faith formation, teaching and learning, personal and social development, and partnership between the school and the wider community. Place2Be is a charity that works in schools to improve the confidence and wellbeing of children to support their learning. We work together with parents, teachers, and children to help this happen. At St. Catherine’s there is a Place2Be room where children can go to express and think about their worries, through talking, painting, drawing, and play. At Place2Be children are helped to find new ways of coping with difficulties they may have so that those difficulties don’t get in the way of their friendships or learning. There can be times when children can feel particularly sad, confused, fearful, or angry for a range of reasons and it is at these times that Place2Be at St.Catherine’s can be helpful. At St.Catherine’s Place2Be work with children on an ongoing one-to-one basis offering regular time-tabled support. All pupils can also find help with friendship issues and other worries by choosing to visit Place2Talk which offers short lunchtime sessions open to individual pupils or groups. At St.Catherine’s we can meet with SandBox with Toysyou to discuss any worries you may have about your child or children and the things that you feel may be getting in the way of their learning. At St.Catherine’s we also have A Place for Parents which can offer you support with any issue you may have and would like to discuss. Place2Be at St.Catherine’s also offers support to teachers and all school staff members via a Place2Think. This offers them the space to discuss any worries or concerns that they may have. In supporting children to feel better about themselves, we can help reduce the things that get in the way of them feeling good. In doing this we reduce the barriers to their learning so that they can learn more easily, as they become less preoccupied with what is worrying them. This supports St.Catherine’s educational goals for their pupils. This was a great achievement for our eco committee and everyone throughout the school. We have been working hard to ensure that our school is helping to look after the environment. The Eco committee includes pupils from Primary 3 through to Primary 7 and each member has a specific responsibility in the committee. These responsibilities range from chairperson to communicators. Over the last few years, the Eco Committee has made a lot of decisions to help the school become more environmentally friendly. We recycle our milk cartons and paper throughout the school and now recycle our fruit waste into our compost bin in the playground. Every year we have an Eco Week where we take part in lots of different eco-activities. In the past, we have joined in the Keep Scotland Beautiful campaign and we’ve taken part in litter-picking in our local area and school grounds. We’ve constructed bird feeders to hang in the playground using recycled milk cartons. We’ve planted vegetables in our vegetable patch and we’ve also changed the look of our playground by painting a mural for our climbing wall. View full school

St. Brigid’s we are small enough to know each pupil’s name and provide a secure, family-oriented environment, but large enough to deliver a rich and diverse curriculum. We are well supported by our governors and parents and have an active School Association. St Brigid’s is beautifully situated on the A543 on the outskirts of Denbigh, a Medieval Walled Town, set in the grounds of an early – Victorian house, surrounded by parkland. We strive to provide high-quality education for all our pupils, enhanced by a caring and positive ethos in our school. We pride ourselves on Christian family values and we recognize the development of the whole person. We seek “to inspire and be inspired” through “Respect, Love, Faith, Truth, and Excellence.” The School was established in 1939, by the Congregation of St Brigid and set up on-premises in the town of Denbigh. In 1943, the nuns moved the school from Park Street to the present premises, and the school became St Brigid’s Convent School, catering to children from the age of 4 to 18. In later years, it was known as Brigidine Convent. In 1996 the school became the first Maintained (state) Boarding School in Wales. With changes introduced in 1999 by the Schools Standard and Framework Act, the School became a Voluntary-Aided school supported by the Denbighshire Local Education Authority. In 2013 boarding closed and St Brigid’s became a day school only. St Brigid’s serves a large catchment area stretching from Llandudno in the West to the Welsh Borders in the East, and beyond Ruthin in the South. St Brigid’s School aims to provide an excellent Christian Education which will enable each pupil to develop their talents to the full and produce the qualities of Character, both spiritual and academic which will lead them naturally into responsible adult life. St Brigid’s provides an atmosphere where the basic values of the Christian family living are of prime importance. A place where education and culture are appreciated for their intrinsic worth, where the development of the whole person through a multitude of disciplines, gives each one a sense of dignity and worth.

We work very closely in partnership with our parents/carers and value your help and support in providing the very best all-around education with high standards and expectations. We provide a structured and balanced curriculum in line with local and national priorities in well-maintained and resourced surroundings. We encourage a pleasant, caring, well-ordered and purposeful environment where talents are recognized and achievements rewarded. A strong emphasis is placed on our Christian faith and we aim to develop a genuine knowledge and love of God in our children’s lives. The Scottish Curriculum is currently under review and schools are working towards implementing “Curriculum for Excellence”, which is based on the following values in Scottish Education: Wisdom Justice Compassion Integrity The Purpose of Scottish Education in the 21st Century is to ensure that our children are:- Successful Learners, Confident Individuals Responsible Citizens, and Effective Contributors. In St Brigid’s Primary School, we believe that we are already developing these four capacities in our children, and continue to strive for excellence. As a Catholic school, relationships in St Brigid’s Primary are founded on the belief that each person is made in the image and likeness of God. This document describes the approaches and procedures that will be used throughout the school in our promotion of positive behavior. As it is a whole-school approach, it imposes a large degree of collective responsibility upon everyone to adhere to the procedures detailed below and to remain ‘true to the spirit’ of the positive approach philosophy. However, we have also tried to retain a measure of flexibility that will allow staff to use their judgment in each situation they deal with and to react appropriately to the circumstances of the moment. Children’s behavior is often referred to in this document. By behavior, we mean not only how children treat each other and their surroundings, but also their attitudes to work and the way they approach their learning. The rules outlined below cover nearly all eventualities and should operate in all areas throughout the school. The left-hand column contains positive rules and we should encourage children to observe these. The right-hand column contains more traditional negative rules and children should be discouraged from behaving in the way described. While the emphasis should always be on the positive promotion of the first set, there will be times when it is more appropriate to say, ‘Don’t!’ View full school

St Brigid’s is a lovely, warm, and friendly school where everyone strives to be the best they can be by ‘Dreaming, Believing, Achieving’ We want everyone to be a lifelong learner as we go through life with Christ, our family, friends, parish, and community. St Brigid’s is a Roman Catholic Primary School under the trusteeship of the Diocese of Salford. It is maintained by Manchester Authority. As a Voluntary Aided School, the Governing Body is the Admissions Authority and is responsible for taking decisions on applications for admissions. The coordination of admissions arrangements is undertaken by the Local Authority. For the school’s year commencing September 2016, the Governing Body has set its admissions number at 30. The Catholic Faith and the Teachings of the Roman Catholic Church have an essential role in school life and influence every aspect of the Curriculum. We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. This does not affect the right of parents who are not of the Faith of this school to apply for and be considered for a place here. The pupil premium is a grant given to schools for each child who currently claims free school meals or has done so in the past. We use this money to support individual children and groups to make progress. We make sure that it impacts the children positively by improving their literacy and mathematical skills, as well as their social and emotional well-being. Physical education develops the children’s knowledge, skills, and understanding so that they can perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. These include dance, games, gymnastics, swimming and water safety, athletics, and outdoor adventure activities. Physical education promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting, and applying skills and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Thus we enable them to make informed choices about physical activity throughout their lives. At St. Brigid’s R.C. Primary School we are committed to helping every child to grow and develop in the love of God and others, recognizing the unique nature of each individual’s needs. Our Mission Statement, Creed and aims of the school emphasis the central role of Jesus plays in providing a foundation on which our school’s life and work are based, and where the 5 W’s (Word, Worship, Witness, Welfare, and Welcome) play a vital part of our daily lives. Religious education within our school complements and is underpinned by this mission and in partnership with home and parish, provides a setting for the development of a sensitive and reflective attitude to life and opportunities for living and sharing our faith with the wider community. The DfE have recently reinforced the need "to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs." At St Brigid's RC Primary School we pride ourselves on being a happy, welcoming, and inclusive school where every learner is valued.

We are committed to equal opportunities and this policy has been written in conjunction with our Equality and Diversity Policy 2016. We are committed to keeping all children safe and this policy is written in conjunction with all relevant Health and Safety Policies, including the school’s Safeguarding and Anti-bullying policies. At St Brigid’s we value each person as a unique individual created by God. It is our aim that everybody reaches their true potential and therefore has very high expectations of behavior. This policy is written in the light of the gospel and our school mission statement. We believe that people respond and thrive best when they are praised a lot. That is why at St Brigid’s, we have a ‘spot people being good’ policy. This is the most important strategy and should be evident in all that we do as adults. We also believe that adults should model the behavior they wish their pupils to aspire to. In other words, all adults will lead by example. Behavior management should also be age-appropriate. Everyone needs to be consistent in managing behavior by this policy. This also promotes pupil well-being and helps to build self-esteem and an ‘I can’ attitude amongst all our children.

Pupils explain how they apply the Design Principles in their learning. In our class, we have been learning about the design principles of The Curriculum for Excellence. We understand that 9 principles make up the curriculum in Scottish schools. These are challenges, enjoyment, personalization, relevance, choice, depth, breadth, progression, and coherence. The Curriculum for Excellence has been designed to give us the best start in life. Here in St Bride’s we have a very positive attitude to these principles and are delighted to share our ideas with you. St Bride's is a very busy school with children from many different cultures. We enjoy learning, working, and playing together. The security of a school’s premises is an important part of ensuring the personal safety of pupils, staff, and visitors. It is therefore highly relevant to a school's overall health and safety policy. We provide an adult presence (janitor/Pupil Support Assistants) in the playground from 8.45 am and advise that you do not send your child to school before this time unless he/she attends the Friendship Club. Children will line up as directed by their class teacher at the beginning of the school year – this will depend on the side of the building where the class is allocated. View full school
