"Nice school, but some organisational issues"

We've had a good experience at St Catherine's, but there have been a few times when they've been a bit disorganised with events and communication. The teachers are lovely and the facilities are great, but we've had to chase up a few things.

"A truly Catholic education"

We were so happy to have our children at St Catherine's. The school's Catholic values and mission were evident in everything they did. My kids loved the RE lessons and the assemblies. We would highly recommend this school.
