ST CATHERINE'S SCHOOL BRAMLEY 

St Catherine's inspires pupils to use their abilities in a happy environment where academic excellence is combined with development of the individual's personality. We develop pupils' skills of leadership whilst enhancing respect for others. Girls should leave as confident, independent thinkers and learners, ready to seize opportunities, make decisions, take risks and equipped to face the world.
